[000:00:00;00] ah ah braces the size of a truck and burn down military vehicles as of style is the epitome of obliteration r. t films, the exclusive drone footage of the devastated landscape of the martyr. you, paul, still does. russian on dpr forces gain full control of the area. also coming up industry leaders predict turbulence for businesses on thousands of lost jobs in egypt. as a result of a possible 6 rhonda sanction said to be imposed by brussels on russia. wimbledon political decision to bon russian on beller, russian tennis players leave,

the grand slams reputation severely. bruce does high profile stars boy called the event of the quad summit of nations, takes place in tokyo. we look at why the u. s. seems to be the main beneficiary of the 4 country organizations. ah. from moscow to the world, this is our t pleasure to have your company today. my name's union. ukrainian fighters who recently surrendered the adult stell plumps will stand trial for the crimes. they're accused of going back multiple years. that is, according to the leader of the done net republic. the group includes members of the neo nazi us off battalion. the territory of the plant is not fully yonder, the control of joint russian. none done yet. forces who are currently carrying out a de mining operation across maria, the historic still factory is deemed beyond ripper,

but the city itself is to be restored with help of st. petersburg, as the 2 were declared sister cities, marty got the chance to exclusively film the sprawling industrial zone from the air unexplored steps. on the surface, you can very clearly see how much damage 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 too. 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, complete 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 on the very low level, the catacombs underneath the as of south steel works, can be explored endlessly. this maze of tunnels doesn't stop surprising you because from one tunnel you go straight into another than does this array of well ladders and staircases and you have no idea what right around the corner. this used to be the headquarters of what are the many units that used to be stationed here, that used to shelter here underneath this plant, there is 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,

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 and elated by the russian jets and artillery of the didn't. it's people's republic. moving the program or not, a french player has become the 1st pro to openly boy count the prestigious will been tennis tournament that comes after the sports oldest grandson was stripped of its clear ranking points due to its decision to bomb russian and bella, russian players from this years event over the conflict in ukraine, r t z don quarter. how's 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 graphs like 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 other reason these ranking points were dropped has to do with wimbledon ban 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 tenants 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 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. now 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. or for a deeper dive into this, let's welcome onto the program. allen morale in sports columnist and consulting and host of capital sports. 3 point. oh alan, good to see you again to why don't you dance? has wimbledon reputation being damaged by the decision to ban russian and bell russian players? we were waiting for this for a while, you know, because you know, women, they were saying initially that people would have 2 players who have to sign a waiver, shall we say, or that they would, they will be against russia. that's basically what they want to say. the russian barriers assign, initially people are complaining about that, but i think it was kind of who was accepted as well. look at that's just the worst can happen. that can happen to the fact that then the band with that would be a basis just know basic law of finding these players come better osha and from

russia. it really said the huge shockwave to attend the community. and as you know, i mean i worked for monday when use it rational times players and then a whole range of nationalities. and in the last week, and i've had feedback from 30 pros, past and present from different countries, including ukraine, course course as well on every single one of the things that this is a joke. and you know, which is kind of like for, for people who gave, it's like our co park, that's where you want to be when you say the tennis there. i'm wondering if you, if you think that you still want to pay on that beautiful graph. but now i think it is damaged, i don't want to going to get it back, you and, and because a lot of players are going to follow differentiate lead and they might just actually pull out because what i find the point is actually workers. yes, their bread and butter isn't it. indeed, when you look at statement such as flown, stevens, tennis player,

saying that at discrimination and then the form will not be tolerated. refreshing comments from pros. what kind of other consequences do you foresee? here are the, you know, we are a month away from the start of women than you think more players might join in. yeah, it all depends. you know what, how concerned with the book we will see how the chance we move. they have left open to the center if they decide to reinstate players and allow players to qualify to play. that's in play because of course we're talking about the wheelchair as well as junior. so it's not just like to talk roles were talking to people who, you know, this is a great job to play in wimbledon and into her. so that sort of situation where if they, you know, pull ahead and say okay, let's be normal to human and that the people say it could be ok. but if not, you know,

that we're discrimination was written in their 2nd by the atp that's years. you know, the 1st time anybody, anybody i need main major organization. i don't. i think it's just that people and it's hard of all these, you know, anti roshan rhetoric and this, you know, i won't say where she phobia just rhetoric said it rushes by, respond and all are. but we've seen this afternoon and 11 with muslims. we, i group with it the same with irish people. it is time, i think a lot of the tennis pros, they're very, i criticize them minute times, but they really have grown up and stood up there and now showed it was $40.00. do you think women might reconsider its decision? know that they're facing this barrage pushback of people you know, some high profile player is very high profile. indeed saying, you know, we're not sure that we're going to compete here at all. she may only osaka who i would be critical in my new ways. she played it straight down the line for you

basically said that this is, this is wrong. and this is basically a glorified exhibition torment we saw reconstruct pain on cream. i was told by a former wimberly, jumping to double champion and he said to me that, you know, this is basically you walk into an i told you see the beautiful, beautiful girl. you walk up to her. i find out that it's your sisters. you said that's what go into play and women would be like this year and i think women do not want to be your sister. you to again, to department. i worked out one lightly and thanks very much for taking us through all the alan we're a sports columnist on consumption live on r c. now, a summit of the sodium coordinations japan. the u. s. a strictly on india is under, we, in tokyo member states praise the relations with each other and reiterate their goals of establishing a, quote, free and open in the pacific. the leaders of the 4 countries agreed to work closely

on the indo pacific economic framework essentially aimed at controlling growing chinese influence and asia. the paper is jo biden's new economic scheme for the region. the plan will set international rules and the digital economy supply change . the carbon is ation on regulation applied to workers. earlier i spoke to ortiz worlds apart, host stocks on a boy co about the moves. the biden administration is pretty clear that they, they see this initiative as a sort of an alternative to china's belden road initiative. but the big difference is that the americans are only talking about values, primarily geopolitical values, present binding, specifically said that, you know, he wanted to unite countries, share our values in order to oppose government that don't share our values. but the way difference from the chinese, an initiative is that the chinese, usually a very practical when it comes to benefits bank. com with products,

they come with real resources. they do projects that actually benefit people's life . and whether or not it benefits china, your political agenda, of course it does. but it also offer something to people on the ground. there is some element of with the when, when, whereas what this new grouping that americans are suggesting is going to bring is an open question. it's like, you know, it's, it's all very abstract at this point. india pm moody, standing up as he has done for quite some time, saying we're not taking sides indian interests 1st, in terms of mutually beneficial cooperation. therefore, between the u. s. these countries is not going to, you know, combine against the test of time isn't 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 that they always put that interest 1st and never consider the interest, so not only their enemies,

but even that the allies and as abstract as these framework seems to be. again, dividing the ministration stresses that it needs to bring huge benefits to the american families, to the american 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 producers 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. it doesn't offer any privilege to access market. it's not a free trade agreement. we spoke with career indian diplomats to say that jo biden's presence of the summit shows the region, remains a priority for the us. but the, the new delhi won't impose sanctions pushed by washington against any country. i think the president biden is keen to demonstrate that the united states

focus on the indo 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 indoor pacific economic crim growth, which india and footprint of other countries, including many of the are young countries have joined. so i think this is the signal that the in the pacific remains a very important aspect to offer you a sponsor and priorities the national has their own is who's v sent from us. but a western sanctioned us for years and years and years. some medical issues, so therefore there is no question of india joining in any sense against russia. our

policy is very clear that india will abide by any sanctions which out of who by the united nations security. so if at any stage against any country gerad sanctions imposed with the approval of the united nations, india will not be about it short on that thousands of jobs lost on major jewels for european factories. that's the worry of industry leaders and the precious stones on car production business, all they say with little to no consequences from moscow on that. south e. u. leaders prefer 6th round of sanctions on russia targeting fossil fuels. ortiz, europe correspondence. charlotte dubin ski picks up the story. what is the thought, the surgeon how sold energy prices was bad enough and then to add on to that,

the increasing basic goods. then you may want to walk away from your screen right now because the warnings coming from certain industries about the future of the european economy. if the block continues to the sanctions against russia is pretty devastating. this will start off with, with the car industries with manufacturers such as b, m, w, and also volkswagen. suggesting that further sanctions could see the entire industry grind to a halt 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. 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. well, it could be time to slap up a call before those production holes, but it's not just that warning from the car and stream. we're also hearing a pretty similar warning coming from the diamond industry. now at the moment there

are new sanctions against russian diamonds being imported, but sanctions that have been imposed by the u. s. a said to cause a problem already in the supply will wide so much so that the heart of the diamond industry here in europe in antwerp in belgium, is suggesting that they could be wide by bankruptcy and major job losses. and all experts say for new 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 despite is pussy in quite a warning. so different industries, it seems as the e wants to do a full steam ahead with further sanctions. it already saying look, set to approve a sick set of sanctions. hopefully in the next few days, ursula bowl delay and the commission 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 throughout the war and ukraine is the ear has been announcing new sanction package, often new sanction package. it is said one thing pretty consistently that the packages of sanctions must harm the russian economy more than they com, the economies here in europe at the moment that doesn't appear to be the case with the russian economy being far more robust than expected. however, here in europe, many people are really feeling the price squeeze. and of course, we're now getting those warnings from many industries about the devastating impact they could be if there are further sanctions. meaning that many on our questioning, whether the sanctions themselves or even doing their job will throw the

conflict in ukraine. kiev has repeatedly accused russia of committing atrocities, but despite often being unable to verify the claims. western media outlets have been all too willing to run the stories. here's our senior correspondent, morocco, steve. 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 these 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 that 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 some way 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 happen 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 is 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 yeah, that's the real world guys come on. but you know,

when say our diplomats are lying all the time. yet the russians who trust them, when they offer assurances, we can 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 about not expanding nato hadn't lied to ukraine promising it membership. but they did, and somehow they must now make it all rushes fault, the media and the u. s. and generally speaking, the propaganda of the department of state is maybe the only thing more powerful than the weapons. the pentagon themselves have access to. we understand that in this country, the press is entirely owned by a small group of very wealthy individuals. and those people have connections to weapons firms, to the gas and oil industry, and all the people who really stem to gain from

a longer and more intense war in ukraine. joe biden has written a piece on flooding or zalinski for time magazine, racing him as one of the most influential people of the year. the u. s. president say's his counterpart has left his mark on world history in presidents lensky. the people of ukraine have a leader worthy of their bravery and resilience as citizens across the country. shopkeepers and soldiers, tailors and truck drivers fight for their homes and their freedom. ukraine's parliament recently study the draft bill, which would have a large army officers to execute their soldiers. if they refuse to follow orders or abandon their post. though it was proposed by an m p. from mister lindsey's political party and was later rejected. does it lead to an outcry inside the country? the idea came against the backdrop of a growing trend of ukrainian soldiers blaming for providing insufficient training and equipment. when geo political analysts, john mark doogan,

said western media that would be unlikely to investigate that story as the mainstream. normative he believes is largely aimed at white washing. kid, mentoring media is going to do whatever it can to, to protect the landscaping, to protect the bye, didn't ministration. they are absolutely complicit in the crimes of what has been happening in ukraine because you know what, the, the media, they are supposed to be. watch dogs of government. ok. they are supposed to be the people that hold government accountable and they are absolutely not doing this very, very important role here is absolutely nothing that has been real journalism about what the west is written about the war and ukraine. there's absolutely nothing mean i,

i've been on 5 trip to ukraine to verify information for myself and on us, on none of those trips, if i ever met a western journalist, because they don't want to come, they don't want the troops on a grip of dutch journalists and civil rights groups have joined forces to take the use decision to bound r t and the sputnik news agency to the european court. while they don't endorse either outlets content, the coalition say's such censorship is on democratic we are not fans of rti and sputnik. but if government leaders can independently prohibit information, it affects the democratic constitutional state as a whole. we do not think it is up to europe, ian government leaders to determine what can and cannot be found on the internet. yeah, just a flesh on those remarks. the european union, barred r t and sputnik in early march, citing the conflict and ukraine. i think that the bond would remain in effect until russia stopped conducting what it called disinformation against the you. as

a result, all r t and sputnik broadcasts and even there are a concert on some social media platforms are inaccessible within the block. before l. murphy and founder of geopolitical media projects to rhianna analysis believes western states aren't interested in keeping their people freely informed. actually, it is very hard to tell whether this challenge would be successful or not the legal challenge, right? because the decision to ban rp and it would take, and other russian outlets came from the united states in order to block or control the cloth information into european continent. also in the united states and in canada. because the peons and the americans are finding a hard time nowadays to convince the people to abandon their welfare, their social welfare for the sake of the by the ministration and the military industrial complex in the united states. when we see that your political conflict in ukraine, if they allow their people listen to both sides of the story, in increasing number of people will realize that this is not the black and white

situation there. it's very important for them to keep their people informed, but informed about their narrative and not the ration narrative. because for the moment people are feeling the burden economic burden on their shoulders. and in order to, to said this work for them, they have to tell them that every cent, every extra sense you pay for your meal, for your fuel, et cetera, you are helping ukrainians. where the fact is they are helping a fascist government. unfortunately in, in ukraine. okay, now the trip to the world to part she is coming right up in 2nd. stay close for on a on her guest at elsie's. ah with
