front of the quad. that 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 with from moscow to the world. this is our t pleasure to have your company today. my name is una neil ukrainian fighters who recently surrendered the result. stell plants 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 under the control of joint russian non done yet forces. who are currently carrying out a dean mining operation across maria, the historic steel factory is deemed beyond ripper, but the city itself is to be restored with the help of st. petersburg as the 2 were
3:02 pm
declared sister cities. meanwhile, arte got the chance to explicitly 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 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
3:03 pm
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,
3:04 pm
the catacombs underneath the as of sal 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 this, 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, there is 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 sheen 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.
3:05 pm
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 rush. jets and artillery of the nets, people's republic, ah,
3:06 pm
moving the program on the french player has become the 1st pro to openly boy health, the prestigious wimbledon tennis tournament. 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 year's event over the conflict in ukraine. r t don quarter. how's more? but 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,
3:07 pm
now 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 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,
3:08 pm
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's 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 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 sport, we're going to see just to what degree it's going to backfire on tennis as
3:09 pm
a whole. or for a deeper dive into this, let's welcome onto the program. alan morale in sports columnist on consulting and host of capital sports. 3 point oh good to see you again. to what dance has wimbledon reputation being damaged by the decision to been rushed in belarus and players? we were waiting for this for a while, you know, because you know, women and they were saying initially that people would have 2 players who have to sign a waiver. so we say are that they would, they would be against russia. that's basically what they want to say. the barriers i'm assigned 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 going out. and that's what's gonna happen. just like that. then a bond with you real basis, just know based on law finding these players come better osha and from russia. it really said a huge shockwave to attend the community. and as you know, i mean,
3:10 pm
i was working for money when using rational times players and then a whole range of nationalities. and in the last week, and i had feedback from 30 pros, past and present whenever different countries including ukraine and of course course as well. and every single one of you see that this is a joke and you know, which is kind of like for people who get a game just like our co park, that's where you want to be retrieved. say tennis, their mother, even if you, if you think that your account, you still want to play 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 a 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 in any form will not be tolerated. refreshing
3:11 pm
comments from prose. 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 content with the book we will see how the chance we move. they have left us open to a t p 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 pros. we're talking to people who, you know this, this is a great job to play in wimbledon and her. so the choice and where women, if they were pulled ahead, i couldn't say okay, let's be normal to human and that the people played. it could be ok, but if not, you know that we're discrimination was written in their statement by the atp that's years. you know, the 1st time anybody,
3:12 pm
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 or so. but we've seen this afternoon 11 with muslims. we, i group with it. you same with irish people. it is time, i think that a lot of the tennis pros, they're very but i criticize a minute times, but they really have grown up their feet and now showed it. that's what sported all of it. do you think women might reconsider its decision? know that they're facing this barrage, this 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
3:13 pm
a former wimberly champion to double champion, and he said to me that, you know, this is basically you walk into a night. you see, it has to be beautiful, beautiful girl, you walk up to her and find 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 our tv now, a summit of the sodium quad nations japan, the u. s. s. trillion india is under when tokyo member states praise the relations with each other and reiterated their goals of establishing a, quote, free and open into pacific. the leaders of the 4 countries agreed to work closely on the indo pacific economic framework essentially aimed at countering growing chinese influence and asia. the paper is jo biden's new economic scheme for the
3:14 pm
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 docs, 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, do political values present button and specifically said that, you know, he wanted to unite countries, share our values in order to oppose government that don't share our bellies. but the way difference from the chinese in initiative is that the chinese, usually a very practical when it comes to benefits bank. com with credit, they come with real resources. they do projects that actually benefit people's life . and whether or not it benefits china, your political agenda,
3:15 pm
of course it does. but it also offer something to people on the ground. there is some element of the win win. 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 that this when india pm 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. on 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 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,
3:16 pm
to bite in 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, this agreement doesn't offer anything concrete to those countries who doesn't offer any privileged access market. it's not a free trade agreement. we spoke with career indian diplomat 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 that the president biden is keen to demonstrate that the united states focus on the in the pacific has not diminished as a result of preoccupations about what is happening in europe. and i think
3:17 pm
that is an important factor because he has also come up with the initiative of the in the pacific economy criminal 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 aspect of us policy and priorities and has never sent us west a sanctioned us for years and years and years very critical issues for the best of india, joining in anything against russia. our policy is very clear that india will abide by any sanctions which are approved by the united nations security.
3:18 pm
so if at any stage against any country sanctions involved with the approval of the united nations, india will not be much shorter, that thousands of jobs lost and major jobs for european factories. that's the worry of industry leaders and the precious stones and car production business. all they say with little to no consequences from moscow. natalvi you leaders prefer a 6th round of sanctions on russia targeting fossil fuels. ortiz, europe correspondence. charlotte davinsky picks up the story. what is the salt? the surgeon house 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
3:19 pm
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 industry. we're also hearing a pretty similar warning coming from the diamond industry. now at the moment there are no sanctions against russian diamonds being imported, but sanctions that have been imposed by the u. s. a said to cause
3:20 pm
a problem already in the supply will white so much so that the heart of the diamond industry here in europe and i'm to up 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 on the land, the commission president saying that putin has lost his best client in europe. if we would completely cut immediately as of today of the oil. he might be able to
3:21 pm
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 has said one thing pretty consistently that the packages of sanctions must harm the russian economy more than they calm 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 are even doing their job, will throw the conflict in ukraine. kiev has repeatedly accused russia of
3:22 pm
committing atrocities, but despite often being unable to verify the claims. western media outlets have been all too willing to run the stories. here sir, senior correspond 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 when western 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,
3:23 pm
did this really happen or is this as it appears? walpole baganda on steroids, but that's in times past these days, whatever you cry and 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 unhinged 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
3:24 pm
bad that it is a positive disadvantage to know anything about the subject. unlike russia much as required to check and to 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 yeah, that's the real world guys come on. but you can read on your own when say mart, diplomats who 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
3:25 pm
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 the media in 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,
3:26 pm
raising him as one of the most influential people of the year. the u. s. president says 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 refused 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 as it led tonight. pri inside the country, the idea came against a backdrop of a growing trend of ukrainian soldiers blaming for providing insufficient training and equipment. while geo political analyst 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. mentary
3:27 pm
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. there is absolutely nothing that has been real journalism about what the west to 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 a, on none of those trips, if i ever met a western journalist,
3:28 pm
because they don't want to come, they don't want the troops on a grip of dutch journalists and civil rights groups of joined forces to take the use decision to bon r t and the sputnik news agency to the european court. while they don't endorse either outlets content, the coalition phase, such censorship is on democratic. we are not fans of r t and splitting it. 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 and government leaders to determine what can and cannot be found on the internet. yeah, just to flesh out those remarks. the european union barred r t and sputnik in early march, citing that conflict in ukraine. i think that the ban 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 of work. l. murphy and funder of geopolitical
3:29 pm
media projects. toriana 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 guardian tried because the decision to ban rp and it would take, and other russian outlets came from the united states in order to lock or control the cloth information into european continent. also in the united states and in canada. because the peons and 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 particular conflict in ukraine, if they let their people listen to both sides of the story, in increasing number of people will realize that this is not a black and white situation there. it's very important for them to keep people informed, but informed about their narrative and not the ration right. because for the moment
3:30 pm
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. ok. another trip to the world apart. she is coming right up in seconds . they close for exam on her guest today also. mm hm. with blue on november, the 3rd 1945, just a month after the war ended. the u. s. joint chiefs of staff received.
