a use for us to put in for losses come with traces the size of a truck and then down military vehicles. as of style is the epitome of obliteration r t. fill in the exclusive growing sub age of the devastated landscape of the martyr. you pull, steal club russian on dpr forces gain full control of the area. also ahead on the program, industry leaders predict turbulence for businesses on thousands of lost jobs in the e. u. as a result of a possible sick, strong to sanction set to be imposed by brussels on russia. with wimbledon comes on stuff tennis stars this side to boy killed the grand slam after it's stripped of running points. following the tournament. political decisions have

been russian and valid russian players from compete found out 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 the organization with across the world around the clock. this is our international, you don't agree with you this hour. let's get into our top story. ukrainian fighters who recently surrendered the zone style plant will some trial for the crimes. they are accused of going back multiple years. that is, according to the leader of that done yet republic. the group includes members of the neo nazi and he's off battalion. the territory of the plant is not fully under the control of joint russian and done yet forces who are currently carrying out a d mining operation across maria. the historic steegal factory is deemed beyond repair. the city and other facilities are to be restored with the help of st.

petersburg as the 2 were declared, sister cities will r t got the chance to exclusively film the sprawling industrial zone from the air and explore it that's on the surface. you can very clearly see how much damage the russian artillery, the russian air force mortars, how much damage the caused 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 faxes 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 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 gila soldiers. which who are hiding and living on the very lower level,

the catacombs underneath the as of star steel works, can be explored endlessly. this maze of tunnels doesn't stop surprising. you get from one tunnel, you go straight into another than there's this array of well ladders and staircases and you have no idea what right around the corner. this used to be the headquarters of one of the many units that used to be station here that used to shelter here underneath this plant. the 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 internet's 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 burn down military vehicles. as of style is the epitome of utter obliteration. and a metaphor to the fate of every and who was sheltering underneath the places

annihilated by the russian jets and artillery of the de nets, people's republic. oh, okay. no. the story to tell you by to day a french player has become the 1st pro to openly. busy caught the prestigious wimbledon tennis tournament that comes after this sports oldest grand slam was stripped of its clear ranking points due to its decision to bon russian and bell russian players from this year's event over the conflict in ukraine. ortiz don quarter has more. 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 world's number one tennis player naomi soccer heard that heard this news. she decided that perhaps she's going to be out of the tournament altogether. this year. i would say like, the decision is kind of affecting like my mentality going into growth. like i'm 100 percent. sure. if i'm going to go there, it's kind of like,

i don't want to see pointless, no pun intended. but like, the reason these ranking points were dropped has to do with wimbleton ban on the 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, lucy and players from competing in the u. k. this summer undermines the principal and the integrity of the a t p ranking system. it is with great regret and reluctance that we see no option but to remove a t p ranking points from wimbledon for 2022. and it looks like that regret is warranted because wimbledon is now because of this decision facing a boycott. top french tennis player lucas 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 bella, russian players who were banned, that this extended, that in justice 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 to are against it. on top of that, the world current number tennis player, novak joke of, ich said that wimbledon came to the wrong decision. he said that the tournament administration had other options i 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. a summit of the quad nations, japan. the u. s. s trillion and india is underway in tokyo member states praise their relations on reiterated their goals of establishing a, quote, free and open into pacific. several leaders made speeches focusing on issues related to the block, including taking action on climate change on providing economic assistance to pacific region countries. that's welcome into the shooting beside me. ox on the bulk of for a little bit more on what's happening in the pacific union and seem to you there is a lot going on because apart from quad, we've got an indo pacific economic framework that was signed over the past few days between washington and south, east asian countries. it's all happening in terms of economic and other things as well there right now as well. it's actually hard to understand what is really

happening. there is a lot of preaching a lot of abstract ideas being thrown around, but very, very little in terms of practical consequences. so far, you mentioned the meeting of the quad groupings, and i think one of the things that president biden was trying to achieve there is you have president render morty side with america against russia. he said something to the fact that it needs to take him more principal for this him, but mr. moody, all but ignored those urge urgings on the part of the american president on parallel to that they were a larger grouping of countries. i think 12 of them that signed the very abstract agreement cold in the pacific and on the spring warrants and what it is, it's hard to understand that this point of time because again, there is that there's a lot of good words about nothing. but essentially what the americans said,

just to they one grouping point, is to try to address deficiencies in the current governance of the global trading system. now what it means specifically, again, is hard to understand, but we know that the americans have been framing and have been influencing the development of global trade for quite some time. and it is pretty apparent that and nowadays these rules of trade, the, i'm out of the world bank, the bretton woods system, is no longer working specifically in the american favor and the americans, one, can you shape it in a way that will keep them? i believe, but whether other countries for the grid to that, i don't know, is that why it's happening in the pacific? they're not mentioning it, but china is the big burn room. and what did that mean that they're not even making that a secret? the biden ministration is pretty clear that they, they see these initiative as a sort of an alternative to china's bells and wrote initiative. but the big

difference is that the americans are only talking about values at primarily geopolitical values. present by typically said that, you know, he wanted to unite countries, the chair, our values in order to oppose governments that don't share our bellies. but the way difference from the chinese in initiative is that the chinese usually are very practical. when it comes to benefits, they come with credits, they come with real resources. they do projects that actually benefit people's life . and whether or not it benefits china's, your political agenda, of course it does. but it also offer something to people on the ground. there is some element of the win win. whereas what these new grouping that americans are suggesting is going to bring is an open question. it's like it's, it's all very abstract at this point. it's interesting what you mentioned before though of india, p. m. moody, standing up as he has done for quite some time thing. we're not taking sides,

it's indian interest 1st, in terms of mutually beneficial cooperation. therefore, between the u. s. and these countries, it's not going to, you know, combat against the test of time. is it going to last up because that's a big divide at the moment? it depends on how the americans will proceed. and the problem with the american approach is they is that they always put that interest 1st and never consider the interest of not only their enemies, but even that the allies and as abstract as these framework seems to be again, to bite in the ministration stresses that it needs to bring huge benefits to the american families to them, or can businesses. and many observers in the region suspect that it is primarily designed to make the american goods in the region more competitive because it's hard for the american seducers to get into the asian markets because of the high value of the years solar. but again,

disagreement doesn't offer anything concrete to those countries who doesn't offer any privileged access market. it's not a free trade agreement is just the americans essentially saying you need to agree to are these rules because they, they're supposed to benefit us and we are going to put the nice idea, logical framing on to that. okay, thanks very much for taking us through the after host of world support here in rti or plato, the former indian foreign minister conwell sabelle said india will never impose sanctions pushed by the u. s. against any country has never been, as you see from us by the western sanction us for years and years and years critical issues. are there no best of india joining in anything against russia? our policy is very clear that india will abide by any sanctions approved by the united nations security. so if at any stage

against any country, sanctions in bows with the approval of the united nations, india will not be a body too much short of that china has threatened us with redeemable consequences quote, after jo biden's remark that washington would intervene militarily. if china attacked the island of taiwan, 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 the white house, however, claim those comments did not signify a policy shift that claims joe biden simply made clear. the u. s. commitment to provide tie, pay with military assistance for self defense. under the taiwan relations act.

washington nodded. it's the by, it's so called one china policy under which only one chinese government has recognized beijing, but which allows for all, no fisher relations with ty pay, including the sale of weapons wherever the exclamation wasn't enough for china, which saw of a statement as a breach of existing agreements may go, maybe the u. s. has violated its commitment on the taiwan question, hollowed out the one china principal, and both openly and secretly incited and supported taiwanese independence and separatist activities. if it carries on down the wrong path, it will not only cause redeemable consequences for the china us relationship, but also eventually incur an unbearable costs to the u. s. as you may know, it's not the 1st time president biden has made such all found remarks on taiwan during his presidency. and also not the only topic he's appeared confused over. he's mixed up countries names, put his vice president in his own post and made ambiguous statements about the

russian president with his age. then forced to explain his speech for damage limitation the mm full asian. the 1st on the list lose, you can say, spend the time one question, like many others is one that causes changes and contradictions in the u. s. position. the united states is always tried to contract 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 interpretation of the word, turn a policy and try and us a government has already announced that again. and again, that was kind of policy is the main stone or the base stone that the between all

countries who are ready to have the full amount. if a relation of we're trying to move relations we're trying to, we're trying to policy can not be shaped, cannot be sure and thousands of jobs last and major jewels for european factories. that is the worry of industry leaders in the precious stone and car production business. all they say with little to no consequences for russia, the backdrop to not being the sanctions program being sent by brussels against russia. yeah, 61 is currently in the work said let's go through that kind of division we're hearing between industry leaders and the politicians in president. right. the you indeed with our europe correspond to charlotte dubin ski. charlotte, a lot of worry out there among businesses isn't there as to where anti rushing sanctions are leading essentially the blow back of them. yes i so i mean,

if these thought that it was bad enough to see these exponential energy prices for households and businesses, the fact that food prices are rising here in europe than you may want to look away . because the warnings coming out from the current diamond industry show that what's happening at the moment in europe is just the tip of the iceberg. we'll start with the car industry. what we have had warnings from, not just b, m, w, but also volkswagen as well. essentially saying that further sanctions against russia could pretty much decimate the european economy and bring entire industries to halt our 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. i think we should do the utmost to really stop this war and get back to negotiations and get back to trying to open up the world again. if

a sanctioned school coming, it may be time to go and pick up one of those cars pretty soon before those productions. and now it's not just the car industry that says there is trouble full steam ahead. we're also hearing the same sort of wranglings from the diamond industry. it's not a sanctioned industry at the moment t in the you, but it has already been sanctioned by the u. s. an apparent that's already having an impact on the wholesale market and the ability of getting diamonds into areas like on to it, which is the heart of the diamond industry. here in europe. there is a suggestion at that that could cause bankruptcy and major job losses for many of the businesses the operate that an expert say for no reason. by banning 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 that

these are pretty extreme warnings coming from different industries. and despite that, it seems that the in you is not necessarily paying full attention to that. what it is trying to do though, is push full steam ahead with this 6 set of sanctions, which could see russian imports of oil completely halted by the end of this year or next year. it's lavon delay in the commission's president saying that putin has lost his best client in europe. if we would completely cut immediately as of today, off the oil, he might be able to take the oil that he does not sell to the european union to the world market where the prices will increase and sell it for more. now what we have heard over and over since the start of the war in ukraine from the european union, is that any sanctions must have a bigger impact on the russian economy than they would have here on the european

economy. and what we're seeing at the moment is that's not exactly the case for the moment the russian economy seems to have been pretty robust despite sanction patching each after sanction package. however, here in europe, we are seeing those massive price increases. we're seeing reco breaking inflation and re a huge squeeze on the pockets of every day people and businesses. so if that's true and the sanctions are not exactly doing their job, where does the you go next? taking a through that story ortiz, you're a corresponded charlotte davinsky the 3 baltic states along with slovakia, or calling for $300000000000.00 of russian assets currently under sanctions. to be handed to ukraine. according to media reports, the quartet want the funds to be used to rebuild the country and boost t s military capabilities. we must now identify illegal 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. well, keep the ledge is $600000000000.00 is needed to rebuild the country. so the frozen russian assets would cover half of the mind, the european commissioner say they would look into the possibility of seizing russian assets, canada and the united states have previously called for the same measure. well, to discuss the issues last cross live now to martin doors are human rights lawyer, sociologists, former parliamentary and a member of the left party in germany. martin, welcome to you. some experts warn the expropriation of russian outside would. i rode one of the pillars. western societies built upon the rights of private

property is not a real risk. yes, of course, because the risk and the measure which is brought forward by the 3 baltic stage with which the best allies of the united states, the transatlantic orientation. and if you bring something forward like that, it's a new step escalation, the conflict. and of course, it's kind of studies ation in the normal order. so i don't agree with just like that. what are the chances of russian assets actually being seized? we've mentioned before that it's not a new idea with canada. the u. s. floating the proposal. do you think anything will actually come of it? no, i think that is something which is not done in other conflicts. that is a new kind of new idea to use

w. they russia or to bring forward something even harder than the normal sanctions and stuff like this done, although they will not be sent into practice. i think so, and if they are set into practice, it's even escalation of the conflict again. so it's, it's leading into a dead end to my mind if you want to solve the conflict, you're now listen to the trans atlantic idea. if you think in the european way, you should do it on policies. and so the french, german government to protect the european society of economical crisis, which is all ready to writing in a very harsh way. and they should start on this dialogue to stop the war and not follow ideas which only leads into the next that and for their own economy in europe. and which leads into that. and in the way of closing the negotiation,

which is lot really open. but if you want to open it, you have to take measures of dialogue and not measures of escalation. martin, i'm also interested to get your thoughts on what the polish pm said. recently some, some interesting mathematics. i think being done here, he said norway should share its profits. that the earth during the conflict because as russia was getting punished with sanctions, poland says that norway got more because of that, seeing that extra oil profits during the conflict are unjust. why do you think pulling things that can make such claims to another country's economic resources? that's really funny. you can see that the measure, the st. john's, the stop of import of gas or oil from russia. it affects the central europe and the east europe, all from the rest and bought a home in

a very negative way. and now it's kind of upset. i mean, i believe that profit could be equally worldwide in, in some kind of socialist society has left being present. but the polish government is far away from such ideas. so it's just the absolute idea to cover losses which are disturbing down on the coming you know, and it's not a real realistic idea because we are living in the capitalist and you'll be bro formation. and why should other countries now like norway, who are dependent on the export stop the roots of markets. it could be a good idea if you want to provide the whole world with all resources which, how that, but in that kind of conflict, it's only a kind of egoistic way to overcome their policy better,

better results or best policies which are done. so it's upset. yeah, very interesting analysis. as always martin, thanks for that. martin doors are human rights lawyer and member of the left party in germany. you know, the former president of mol, dover igor, do done, has been detained for 3 days. the state prosecutor general's office has opened a criminal case against the head of the countries socialist party. to done is charged with corruption, illegal enrichment, and even treason. that may, navigation is receiving a bribe from all the car back in 29 teen police of search. the sites, the office, all the moldova, and russian business union created by the ex president. mr. don is well known for his proof of russian views on how stated he will oppose the current president's policies. known ideology in focus next that we may have thought

died out in the 20th century fascism. but next we chronicle higher. that's not the case there. close for a documentary beginning in moments by fernand. ah ah, i think it is very difficult for us to understand that the conflict generation also comes back on the generator. that's the bottom of the formula. if you unleash some kind of project into a country of interventionist as it negatively had this cam and may effect the security of the country. mm.

awe. on november the 3rd 1945, just a month after the war ended, the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9 and select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. as the u. s. s. all was devastated by wal. united states last about $400000.00 people at the brits last less than the americans did. and the soviet suffer. 27000000 deaths with john kennedy gave his american university commencement address. and i 263. he said that what the soviet suffered of world war 2.
