obama's protects his own existence with awe, phrases the size of a truck and burned down military vehicles. as of style is the epitome of obliteration our t phone. exclusive drone footage of a devastated landscape of the more you both deal plans, brushing and dpr forces gain full control of the area. so i had on the program top tennis stars, a boy called the wimbledon grand slam, after the tournament stripped up writing points following its decision to bomb russian invalid russian fears from competing with of the quad summit of nations gets under way in tokyo. we look at why the u. s. seems to be the main beneficiary of the for state organization

with wherever you're catching the program from today across the globe. welcome to moscow into the news r and r t. my name's uni. ukrainian fighters who recently surrendered out via zone style plants will stand trial for the crimes. they're accused of going back multiple years. that's according to the leader. that the net republic, the group includes members of the neo nazi as off battalion. now the territory of the plants is fully under the control right now. join russian on done yet, forces who are carrying i currently demining operation across marty. you pull the historic steel factory is deem beyond ripper. but the city and other facilities are to be restored with the help of st. petersburg as the 2 were declared sister cities . meanwhile,

rti got the chance to exclusively film the sprawling industrial zone from the air and explore it steps on the surface. you can very clearly see how much damage the rushing artillery, the russian air force mortars. how much damage the cost to this place. i mean, look at it. it is utterly devastated, and you can see where the bombs fell. the roof is caved into this building into this absolutely, truly massive warehouse over there to and also you can also get a glimpse into how much the as of neo nazi fighters and the ukranian forces, how much they had in between them and the falling bombs, not just not just concrete, but here, hard steel, all of this kept them really, really safe. and now i'm going to give you one of the most vivid examples as to why the as of style fighters could have sheltered in full safety. incomplete safety for

however long they wanted. this is a crater left by a truly massive bomb, likely dropped off a jet. and you can see how much damage it made compared to me. it's massive. it's absolutely colossal. but have a look at the concrete there. this is just the upper layer of all the dungeons that, towering down there under ground. so the, it managed to destroy the concrete plate, the very top one. but there are several more each and single floor each. each single floor there is separated and protected by plates exactly like this. imagine how many bombs have to be dropped in one particular spot in a one concrete spot which is already impossible to get to the as of style neo nazis and regular soldiers. which who are hiding and living on the very lower level, the catacombs underneath the as of sal steelworks can be explored endlessly.

this maze of tunnels doesn't stop prizing it from one tunnel. you go straight into another than this, this array of well ladders and staircases. and you have no idea what's right around the corner. this used to be the headquarters of one of the many units that used to be stationed here, that used to shelter here underneath this plant. the still a heavy stench of ash in the air because before leaving, they burned this place. they raised it to the ground. not only did they burn the place, but they also had to drop some weapons. and basically they made them useless. like over here you can see rifles, you can see shane guns, they did their best so that nothing falls in the hands of the nets, people's republic militia. but right now scouting this place. they have already. well,

got some trophies. we had to climb about 2 stories up to get to this massive place and get what we're still under the surface. we're still under ground. so you can imagine how deep the tunnels go here and they really could have stayed there. and i mean, even bombs dropped from jets, can't get them here. i mean, look at all the concrete. so it is one of the safest places in the world from the catacombs. we finally see the light of day. we had to get some 5 stories up just to get here to the ground level craters, the size of a truck and burned down military vehicles. as of style is the epitome of utter obliteration. and a metaphor to the fate of every one who was sheltering underneath the places annihilated by the russian jets and artillery of the de nets people's republic. ah,

okay. to another. a headline. stories today. the governing bodies of men's and women's tennis have removed ranking point set wimbleton penalizing the sports oldest grand slam tournament after its decision to ban russian and beller, russian clears from this years event. the decision by wimbledon to ban russian and bella ruffian, players from competing in the u. k. this summer undermines the principal and the integrity of the g. p ranking system. it is with great regret and reluctance that we see no option but to remove atp ranking points from wimbledon for 20. 22. let's go more in this with ortiz don quarter. don't know. ranking points means a big decision for players on whether to compete or not as points are vital for pros, especially their bread and butter. take us through some of the reaction them back on to this story. while union wimbledon decision to ban russian and bell russian players from participating in this years to a tennis tournament at may have serious consequences for the entire sport as

a whole. with the men's and women's sports tennis associations deciding to drop ranking points. as you said, there are in connection to that the world's former number one tennis player naomi assault osaka is already saying that she might not even participate in the tournament this year. i would say like, the decision is kind of affecting like my mentality going into graphs like i'm 100 percent. sure. if i'm gonna go there, it's kind of like, i don't want to see pointless, no pun intended. but like i said, i'll soc is not the only one that frustrated with that decision though top french player of top ranch tennis player lucas p a actually became the 1st player to outright boy caught this year's wimbledon tournament. he said that the decision was an injustice not only for the russian and bel russian players who were band, but also for those who are still allowed to compete. i was in no way associated

with his decision, which i do not agree with. i understand the frustration of the russian players and the injustice of it, but now there is an injustice for $240.00 players instead of 12. it was never a unanimous decision that i know we don't even know if there was a vote. in any case, all the players i have spoken door against it. on top of that, the current world, number one tennis player, novak joke of, it said that wimbledon made the wrong decision in deciding to ban these russian and bella russian players. he said that the tournament administration had plenty of options, but just decided not to pursue them. so clearly a lot of players are upset about all this, this mixing of politics and sport. and we're gonna have to see, to what extent is it really going to backfire on tennis as a whole? interesting precedent has been set by the players. we'll see that on full stone. thanks very much for bringing us through that ortiz don quarter now, a summit of the sodium quad nations made up of japan. the u. s. s. trillion and

india has gotten underway in tokyo. member states praised their relations and reiterated their goals of establishing a, quote, free and open indo pacific. several leaders made speeches focusing on issues related to the block, including taking action on climate change. on providing economic assistance to the pacific r t contributor rti to cruise thing is following the summits. the u. s. president continues to try and persuade new delhi to join the russian sanctions. be god so made in rich be in which still not in there may be jap, i'm prime minister to me. you should state recently a prime minister, anthony albany. and us present your bided attendance summit into q. in fact, this is one of the most important summits for the,

for leaders ever since the go to know why the spend to make. but what came out of the summit is that the god is emerging as it can all make for bad. all of these countries are going to operate on multiple levels and multilateral trade, as well as by the true trade. the announcement all be in do not make it work, is be the highlight of this summit. also what emerged from the summit was in joe biden appreciation to note in remote bees in vaccine diplomacy. also the fact that india was at the forefront of fighting, thrown out by defend, to make, use us from these 2 things. what really emerged from this summit was the fact that not all believed, oh,

really came out with any strong nation against russia. there was no word or no offer to shout. what would the ukrainian was? in fact, although the leaders did say that they had a discussion on the ongoing lot of new grades, but they all shared their respect your views instead of us president job by forcing any of be leaders to, to come out with select you can demolition. i think what has emerged from this summit finally is that it will so as an economic forum for multilateral trade, for by lecture jade. but also why do sensitive issues like india's strategic independence in foreign policy and international relations. it also really wide pressurising and perhaps the do also. well the sions bad big

us, we're like them to date on the on when was in your let's cross live now to rush of sick re former secretary in the indian ministry of external furs. we thank you very much for your time today, sir. what a pleasure do you think is top of the agenda for the leaders of the 4 countries at the quad summit? well, this is the 4th meeting and the 2nd in person meeting that we have had. so in that sense it's routine affair because next year it's going to be hosted by australia. i think the timing was determined by the visit of president joe biden, to japan and south korea on bilateral visits. and so this was the occasion to have a quarter meeting also i think that was the main thing. otherwise it should now

become a routinized affair that our meetings at the summit level at the ministerial level and so forth. so that's what i think about president biden is in attendance, his 1st trip to asia as president. what will he be seeking to get from the summit? you think? i think that a president biden is keen to demonstrate that the united states focus on the end of pacific has not diminished as a result of a preoccupations about what is happening in europe. and i think that is an important factor because he has also come up with the initiative of the indoor pacific economic crim road to which her india and a couple of other countries,

including many of the us young countries have joined. so i think this is to signal that the in the pacific remains are very important aspect to offer you a sponge, see, and priorities, and just to expand and that perhaps how significant is that region right now for the u. s. i think that the indo pacifica will always be a significant for a region because her the pacific is her, is part of the u. s. a security and economic parameter. they have many allies in the pacific as they have a lot of trade in the pacifica countries. and i think the u. s. policy has always been to ensure that the western pacific is also up in a region where the u. s. has a stronger position. so i see no change there. now of course, the earlier concept of the asia pacific has been expanded to include the indoor

pacific because the indian and the pacific oceans are range are together. and india is now part offer the indoor pacific regional hive has the conflict in ukraine affected the security of the into pacific region? well, i think that from an indian perspective, the ukraine conflict is essentially a european conflict. and the solutions have to be founder in europe among the european partners and the united states, which is a leading member of nato. so we don't think that what is happening a no crane should affect the indo pacific environment, where the challenges and concerns are quite different from those in europe. i don't see the korean conflict as a global one because that would imply that it is become

a global war, which is not something that we would liked. we would like it to be resolved as quickly as possible within the framework of peace and diplomacy. and. ringback and intox, or many thanks for coming in the program and sharing your views with us where we're at as well to see what comes out of about summit roger sick re former secretary in the indian ministry of extra lyford. thank you. the saudi arabian has signaled it will continue to support russia's rule in the opec plus group of oil producers. undermining u. s. lead efforts to isolate moscow over it's offensive in ukraine. saudi arabia is the world's largest all exporter and the facto leader. now the opec group members coordinate oil production quotas with russia through the opec plus initiative, the u. s. and u. k. bond oil imports from russia in march, but re unsafe politics should be kept out of the organisation. we got to take of

investment specialist on co founder of the quantum fund. jim rogers solid, shall i, and that is probably inaccurate description. i doubt that that's going to change what staunch allies can have other friends as well and other interest as well. saudi arabia is looking after its own interest and it's made interest as well. needless to say, opec's been around for decades, and they nearly always try to look after their own interest more than anything else . this is simple, human nature and simple history. many countries in the world are staying neutral or trying to stay neutral, but again, most opec countries have their own interest at hard 1st and their own interest is their prosperity and the welfare of their citizens talking is better than than anything else. i much, much, much for singing and dancing with people rather than fighting with people. so good . let's sing and dance and talk and try to get along and have

a good time rather than anything else. that's my way. i like open borders, open countries, open economies, and open friends. the 3 baltic states, along with slovakia, or calling for $300000000000.00 of russian fits currently under sanctions to be 100 to kiev. according to media reports, the countries want the funds to be used to rebuild the country and boost its military capabilities. talking about ukraine, we must now identify legal ways to maximize the use of these resources is a source of funding for both the costs of ukraine's continued efforts to withstand the russian aggression confiscation of state assets, such as central bank reserves or property of state owned enterprises. has a direct link in effect in this regard. while here, the ledge is $600000000000.00 is needed to rebuild the country. thus the frozen rushing offsets would cover off of that amount. the european commissioner said it would look into the possibility of seizing rush in assets for that canada,

the united states previously called for the same measure. medical on list, alexander publish, sees the move would continue to pave the way for a global free for all. it's obvious that a decision has been made to destroy the present war. a lot for the present to can i'm recorder there is no question about and that's why we've been hearing so much from the main western capital's about this rules based order. you know, that's something totally different from international law rules based order. obviously means we make up the rules as we, as we go along, we change them to suit ourselves. and that's the only, you know, the law of the jungle wounds to shooting the law, the jungle. so if we say today, russian property is, you know, it's no longer balance, it's no longer to be respected. you know,

these are the new rules and they expect everyone to go out. well, that's, you know, that's, that's a jungle. it means that there are no rules anymore. it means the power is everything. it means that, you know, might makes, right? and it's the most dangerous situation that europe has been in, at least since world since the end, the world war 2, and maybe even more dangers. and russia is not the only target of those seeking to seize others revenue. at one example, poland prime minister is taking a swipe at norway, saying that 100000000000 euro and energy profits for a nation of just 5000000000 people is on just from a to go. not to me. rovers, norway indirectly lives on the situation related to the events in ukraine. they must share it the surplus profit from oil and gas, exceeding the annual average. in recent years of the small 5000000 state of norway will exceed 100000000000 euros. they must immediately share the surplus gigantic

profit. this is abnormal and unfair. norway has little time for those remark saying that despite an increase in norway's income from oil exports, the country's economy is suffering true to stock market falls while citizens are faced with rising prices for electricity and gasoline because of sanctions against russia. alexander, publish again, say such call stem from western states needing more money to keep financing ukraine . they want norway to contribute to the war effort more. and since poland is since poland is spending a lot of its own citizens money, i mean the government on helping the war and stalking the war and ukraine. i'm sure that you know, they are feeling it and they want someone else to help them finance this very, very expensive adventure. they need money and not just poland, but you know, the americans, the british deal. they all need more money for this,

this ukrainian adventure, which is heading for disaster. so they are pretty much racketeering. whoever they can, norway, norway, of course they're part of their part of their, you know, they are not innocent in all this, but you know, now they're just paying the price for being part of that club and you know, but definitely money as natives. and they're trying to get it from wherever they jack, ah know, throat the conflict. ukraine has repeatedly accused russia of committing atrocities . but the spots often being unable to verify the claims. western media outlets have been all too willing to run. the stories are senior correspondent, morocco, the of picks up the story. ukraine, without a doubt, has become a public relations superpower. at designs, fashioned spreads narratives, information and disinformation in such volume. and with such reach that it is

simply astounding than less than governments and media which enabled us have become willing megaphones for this propaganda. machine was shameless as it is. the dead boy is among dozens of alleged child rape victims, which include 210 year old boys triplets, age 9, a 2 year old girl raped by 2 russian soldiers and a 9 month old baby who was penetrated with a candlestick in front of its mother. according to ukraine's commissioner for human rights and don's pass journalists would ask questions like, did this really happen or is this as it appears? walpole baganda on steroids, but that's some times past these days, whatever ukraine says, you just reprint with an addendum, we can't check, verify, or confirm. any of ukraine's claims somewhere near the end. like the time that you

can claim that russian troops booby trapped children's beds all like the claims that a ukrainian grandma down the russian drone with a jar of pickles with tomatoes, which made it to the front pages of once. reputable media outlets. the thing is with propaganda, as on the hinged and unquestioned as these while it card last. eventually people get tired of being treated like idiots and journalists to look, i respect those who take ukraine side in this war. they have a valid point of view which i happened not to share, but what i object to is the holy one sided nature of public opinion. here it is so bad that it is a positive disadvantage to know anything about the subject. unlike russia much as required to check into proven to verify, thrice and using that, it says the brilliance of ukraine's propaganda machine is that it is shameless. it knows that whatever it says will get reprinted,

it knows that it can get away with saying the most unlikely. and outlandish things . as irony here, ukraine lies to the west, which is only fair because the west lied to ukraine. in 2021, we kept reiterating that ukraine was going to join. we kept saying that so our diplomats are lying. yes. so yes, that's the real world guys. i agree on your own. when say our diplomats lying all the time, yet the russians should trust them. when they offer assurances, we could only wonder what we will be in this mess. would this conflict even have started? if they hadn't lied, hadn't lied to russia about not expanding nato hadn't lied to ukraine promising it membership. but they did, and somehow they must now make it all rush has fault.

new york's mirror has declared a state of emergency over a shortfall of baby formula. the crisis has seen empty store shelves nationwide due to disruptions in the supply chain on its stems from february shut down of the formulas manufacturer which hud controlled almost half of the country's market. the nationwide infant formula shortage has caused unimaginable pain and anxiety for families across new york. and we must act with urgency the mayor of new york city, eric adams declaring a state of emergency because of a lack of availability of baby formula nationwide. but also here in the city, in the boroughs of queens in the borough of brooklyn, people just don't find it on the store shell. it's not there. and this comes on the back of joe biden, invoking the defense production act, getting the military and ball treating this as a national emergency. the fact that baby formula is not available there is a nationwide shortage. this is some of the reaction with america being it occurred

to them here. and now we don't have the funds in order to pay for the inflation or the prices in the higher gap and things like that. it's really hard though with the price is going on every me don't have food for your babies. it's kind of like, where's my health when i renew in government really means nothing more, not only but the formula supply chain is why i don't understand why our government isn't doing more. now. one of the major factors leading up to this was the shutting down of a facility that made a very large percentage of us baby formula. i was determined that there were unsanitary conditions at the facility. some babies were infected. so as a result of that, this facility was shut down by the food and drug administration that caused a shortage. in addition to that, there are issues related to the supply chain. i increase demand coming out of the pandemic, etc. but all of this is creating a situation where

a lot of people are very, very nervous. you can't find a formula anywhere. we look at walmart, walgreens, my baby can't find anywhere. it's really, really hard to find. we've looked all over at wal mart here, target everywhere like formulas, basically out everywhere. it's hard to go to the store and find exactly what, what he's drinking with all the other formula. but he was sitting up and everything and it's coming out of it knows we switch them to this one. and it's just hard to find the formula that he's on. this is being treated as a very serious emergency here in new york city and a national level. we've heard some thunderous speeches on the floor of congress. money has been allocated to deal with this out, but many people are looking at this as a failure of dividing administration. why was not taken more seriously? why was priority not given to this issue rather than dealing with international issues. ready that they seem to have been given priority to. so a lot of anger as a lot of working families are worried about where baby formula will come from.

there's also been reports of price gouging because baby formula is so rare. are there been reports of people charging quite a bit of money for it? you know, i'm in the shortage. there's attempts to crack down on that. so why does serious situation, especially here in new york city, but all across the united states? yeah, some of those prices online. do look extraordinary or i thought is a lot for no. another trip to the world's apart studios. i have moment sticklers for example, and her guess to date, right ahead, sees, ah, with me one welcome to world to part india and pakistan,

russia and ukraine at 1st glance at since that these 2 pair countries have little in common but scratch beneath the surface and they're actually quite a few parallels both do us used to be part of a larger hole. both have lots of cultural similarities and both now find themselves in conflict, contact path to a reconciliation be also somewhat similar to discuss that i'm now joined by how much a charge of that director general of pakistan house in islam of on base think. 10, it's great to talk to you, great to see you here in russia, even though judging by the recent experience of pakistani, think are traveling to moscow or to russia may not be such a good omen for your career. i'm talking about a former prime minister making a visit to russia and then losing his position in power which he blamed on western meddling and.
