ah ah, traces the size of a truck and burn down military vehicles, as of so is the epitome of obliteration rti film exclusive drone for a child. they devastated landscape of the mario called steel plant. how's russian, how dpr forces gainful controlled area? also head on the program, you industry leader is predict turbulence for businesses on thousands of lost jobs as a result of sanctions on russia thought to be discussed by the blocks politician. wimbledon comes on stuck, top, tennis star is this site to boy kill off the grand slam after it's stripped off writing toys. following the tournament political decision to russian and ballard,

russian players from competing with the quad summit of nations gets under way in tokyo. we look at why the us seems to be the main beneficiary of the for state of organizational with career counseling the program from today across the globe. welcome to moscow and to then use our own r t. my name's uni. ukrainian fighters who recently surrendered up the as old style plant will stand trial for the crimes they are accused of going back multiple years, not is according to the leader of that done yet. republic. the group includes members of a neo nazi asoft battalion. now the territory of the plant is now fully under the control of joint russian than yet forces. we're currently carrying out at d mining operation across maria. the historic steel factory is deemed beyond ripper,

but the city and other facilities are to be restored with the help of st. petersburg. the 2 were declared. a sister cities in law ortiz got the chance to explicitly film this sprawling industrial zone from the year and explore its depths on the surface. you can very clearly see how much damage to the russian 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 they, 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, then there's 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. there still a heavy stanch 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 sheen guns. they did their best so that nothing falls in the hands of the dynette peoples 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 da nets people's republic. ah, now moving the program on a summit of the quad nations made up of japan, the u. s. estrella and india has gotten underway in tokyo. member states praised how relations had developed 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 r t to creasing is following the summit. the u. s. president continues to try and persuade new delhi to join to russian sanctions. the announcement all the indoor nomic work is be the highlight of this summit. also what emerged from the summit was there's in joe biden,

appreciation not in the movies, vaccine diplomacy. also, the fact that india was at the forefront of fighting or not to spend to make up us from these 2 things. what really emerged from this was the fact that nono ability dose really came out with any strong contamination against russia. there was no word or no she offered a shelf. what would you premium was in fact, although the leaders did say that they had a discussion on the onboarding lot and you great. but they all shared their respect . your views instead of us present job by enforcing any of be leaders to, to come out with 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 biometric jade, but also a light sensitive issues like india's strategic independence in foreign policy and international relations. it also really wide, but i should i think india and perhaps also just take the sions that the us would like them to date on the on way. what in your and just on this story, indian career diplomats, roger of sic, re, totally jo biden's presence show is not the indo pacific region remains an important part of us policy and priorities. i think that president biden is keen to demonstrate that the united states focus on the endo pacific has not diminished as

a result of 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 in the pacific. he can amik rambo to which india and took 12 other countries, including many of the young countries have joined. so i think this is to signal that the pacific remains very important aspects of us policy and priorities. the pacific is, is part of the u. s. s. security and economic paramita. they have many allies in the pacific. they have a trade with the pacific countries, and i think the u. s. policy has always been to ensure that the western pacific is

also sought in a region where the u. s. has a stronger position on saudi arabia, her signal, and 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. let's go through that. saudi arabia is the world's largest exporter and de facto leader of the opec group members coordinates oil production quotas with russia through the opec plus initiative. the u. s. u. k. bond oil imports from russia in march, but re, i'd say the politics should be kept out of the organisation. we got to take the investment specialist and 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. the 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 new. 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 and much, much, much for singing and dancing with people rather than fighting with people. so god, let's sing and dance and talk and try to get along and have a good time, rather than anything. you know, that's my way. i like open borders, open countries, open economies, and open friends. a french tennis player has become the 1st pro to openly boycott the prestigious wimbledon tennis tournament. it comes after the sports. all this ground floor was stripped of its player ranking point due to its decision to

ban russian and beller russian players from this years event over the conflict in ukraine. let's go live now to our cheese. don quarter. still a full month ago before the offend. actually kicks off and already done some players are pulling our take us through why? that's right. a lot of high profile tennis players are very upset with this. with the fact that ranking points are going to be dropped at wimbledon this year after the former number world's number one tennis player, naomi soccer heard that heard this news. she decided that perhaps she's going to bow out of the tournament altogether. 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 now the reason these ranking points were dropped has to do with wimbleton

band on russian and bell russian players at the tournament this year. and based on what we heard from osaka, it looks like this could have serious consequences for the sport as a whole. and that's why the men's tennis association expressed regret when it said it had to drop these points. 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 is with great regret and reluctance that we see no option but to remove atp ranking points from wimbledon for 2022. and it looks like that regret is warranted because a wimbledon is now because of this decision facing, a boy caught top french tennis player lucas, pre actually became the 1st player to outright refuse to participate in this year's tournament. he said that the dropping of the ranking points extended what was originally just an injustice for russian and bell russian players who were band it

. it's that this extended that injustice to the rest of the players were 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. now on top of that, the world's current number one tennis player, novak joke of, ich said that wimbledon came to the wrong decision. he said that the tournament administration had other options that could pursue, but the side decided not to. we also heard from the u. k. is number one, tennis player cameron, norry, he said that this is going to really discourage top players from participating this year and make it look more like an exhibition that was the all his own words that he used there. so clearly this is upsetting a lot of players, this mixing of politics and sports,

we're going to see just to what degree it's going to backfire on tennis as a whole. okay, don quarter taken us through that story today. the 3 baltic states, along with slow volunteer, are calling for $300000000000.00 worth of russian assets currently under sanctions . to be hunted, to ukraine. according to media reports, the quartet want the funds to be used to rebuild the country and boost key abs, military capabilities. 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 or kia village is 600000000000 dollars is needed to rebuild the country. and so the frozen russian assets would cover half of the might, the european commission has said it would look into the possibility of seizing

russian assets, of course, owned by the russian taxpayer, canada, the united states, previously called for the same measure, let it go on the list, alexander poverty, said the move would simply pave the way for a global, free for all. with rules left to the side. it's obvious that a decision has been made to destroy the present war, longer the present taken on recorder. there is no question about and that's why we've been hearing so much from the main western calculators about this rules based or, you know, that's something totally different from international law rules based order. obviously means we make up the rules as we are, 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 make 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 just to point out, russia is not the only target of those seeking to see others. revenue, poland, prime minister, has taken a swipe of norway, seeing that 100000000000 euro in energy profits for a nation of 5000000 people is on just from a to call. not the 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 rejected poland calls now also say despite an increase in norway's income from oil exports, since the conflict broke out, the country's economy is suffering due to at stock market falls. well, citizens are faced with rising prices for electricity and fuel lakes under poverty . again, say such calls them 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 poet government on tilting the war and stalking the war in 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, and not just poland, but, you know,

the americans, the british, the eel, they all need more money for this, this ukrainian adventure, which is setting 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 and all this but you know, now they're just paying the price for being part of that club and you know, but definitely money is needed and they're trying to get it from the gap. while since the start of the conflict, ukraine has repeatedly accused rush of committing atrocities. but the spider often being unable to verify the claims. western media outlets been all too willing to run the stories, or senior correspondent morale gusty 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. and 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 will 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 or so? yes, that's the real world. yes, i agree on your own. when say our diplomats were 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 conflicts even have started if they hadn't lied, hadn't lied to russia, the but 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. thousands

of jobs lost on major jolts for a european factories. that's the worry of industry leaders and the precious stones and car production business. all with little to no consequences for russia. they say it comes as a you politicians continue with the sanctions pressure against russia. though there are no concerns about a boomerang effect. if we would completely cut immediately as of today and off the oil, he might be able to take the oil that he does not sell to the european union to the wells market where the prices will increase. and sell it for more. so today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be well, let's cross live now to ortiz, you're a corresponded charlotte duban city. hi there, charlotte. there does seem to be a lot of worry out there among businesses as to where auntie russian sanctions are

leading, but perhaps a different story in brussels. yes, that's why the is saying that this idea of a 6 sanctions packages back on the table despite the fact that we know that they are severe reservations in certain quarters about that. this was something that von delane presented a few weeks ago. this idea of an outright ban on russian oil imports, but we know that some countries have said that is something that's very uncomfortable for them particularly hungry, and that's why they haven't yet been able to greenlight that package. however, we are hearing from the german economy minister that that green light could soon be given. only a few states, especially hungary have reported problems. discussions are continuing. i think we will achieve a breakthrough in a few days. and embargo is within reach. now the

e u has been very careful to say that any ban on fossil fuels like oil has to be something that would be brought in gradually over the next 6 to 9 months. and that's because they don't want to damage the economy any move in the damage that it's seen over the last few months. but there is concern that that band could have a wider impact. it could see increased prices in oil world wide. and that would have a result essentially on seeing an increase in prices for households and businesses, households and businesses that are already struggling with a massive increases that we've seen in electricity and gas prices here in europe over the last few months. so beyond that, even back into the time of the cove it pandemic. and there is a sense that you countries are already really struggling with record breaking inflation inflation. that's been caused,

essentially by the blow back from the sanction packages that it's already implemented against russia. because of the war in ukraine and out, this idea doesn't end with russian oil. if that is approved to be banned by the end of this year or next year. it also is something that you is looking to do is to ban russian gas in the future to that industry is a warning if that happens that could completely holt production or industry accounts for around 37 percent of german natural gas consumption, not just b. m w, but the entire sector would come to a standstill and it's not just b m w that a warning about that was also had a warning from the boss of volkswagen back call make it saying what they need is they to be an end to this war in ukraine, and they're actually pushing for europe to push and negotiated settlement between ukraine and russia, saying that this would have to be done very soon for the sake of the news own

economy. now sanctions could be wider and deeper in the coming months if the war doesn't end. this suggestion that one of the industries that could be looked at next is that of precious stones and even metals. now we know that in the u. s. there is already a ban on the imports of russian diamonds and the ramifications of that are already hitting worldwide stalks. now in, i'm to up in belgium, which is the heart for many of the diamond industry in europe. there is a suggestion that that lack of access to russian diamonds could cause bankruptcies and even major job losses. and all they say for nothing. and in russian stones, we would only be cutting our own flesh. it would cost $10000.00 jobs in one fell swoop. and it won't hurt the russians, they would just fly their stones to do by now the line from

the e. u is that any sanctions it imposes on russia must hurt the russian economy more than it hurts the use economy. but for the moment, it does seem that russia's economy has been pretty resilient to all of the sanction packages so far. whether that's come from the in you or other western nations. what we are seeing though is a massive squeezed, hey, in the you, whether that comes in the price of electricity or gas, or even those basic household projects that people buy every day. and that means in reality that people are now starting to question whether the sanctions are actually doing the job that they were intended to do. char, thanks very much for bringing us through all router. your correspondent charlotte dubin ski. and that brings us to the end for this hour. but stay with us because an ideology in focus is next. but we may have thought died in the 20th century fascism

. we chronicled how does not the case, they close for a documentary beginning in moments. bye for now. ah, i think it is very difficult for us to understand the conflicts generation also comes back and haunt the generator. the subordinate formula, if you only some kind of project into a country of interventionist as it negatively dis, this cam me the security of the country. ah,

north atlantic alliance recognizance aircraft wolf shipped, cruising close to russia's borders, have become commonplace along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises. nato has also developed its offensive capability near the russian borders. ah ah, every year a russian bank resolution is submitted to the un against the glorification of not system the outcome is always the same for you as votes against it. and in recent years with ukrainian backing with typically the you abstained. ah, but we.
