a possible don of russian oil hungry declared a war time states of emergency enabling the government to bypass parliament with any decrease with coming to your life from our headquarters here in the russian capsule this wednesday morning. your watching art, see international, my name is peter scott and more of each in and in from welcome to the program. we start this hour with breaking news. coming out of the u. s. state of texas, where at least 19 children have been killed in a mass shooting a mentor school. now it's believed officers responding to the incidents also shot and killed the suspects who was identified as 18 year old salvador ramos. he entered the school with one gun and possibly a rifle report to the shooting his own grandmother as well. it was currently in a critical condition. we'll have full details on this later in the program. ah rushes, opening a humanitarian card or for foreign vessels from the ports of matter you pull this
11:02 pm
morning. thus, after the cities waters were cleared of mines, demining works are also in progress at the territory as of style steel plants, which is now under the full control of the joint, russian and done yet forces that's after the final ukrainian soldiers surrendered there last week. those in dpr captivity will face trial, that's according to local officials with the court proceedings have been prepared at the moment. meanwhile, we continue to bring you details of what life in as of style was like during the siege without eagerness done of exploring the areas where women fighters for their children. this is the room where we found weapons, guns, equipment, well, arm of cetera. and this bunker here used to show to women, look his. there are beauty products over here, over here as well. but judging by the amount of well military paraphernalia that we found, they were no civilians. in fact, in the back of this room, there's a rocket launcher. so not only did they live here,
11:03 pm
they also fought here. there's children's clothes, there's toys and more children's clothes. well, bit down this room, there are still more of their clothes hanging on the rope after they washed these big reserve. was they still have water in them and well, here's how they slept. for example, there's another little nook over there with beds more beds here, mattresses. it's obvious that women who used to live here some of them had children. and it's puzzling at best as to why they weren't allowed to surrender and to get their kids to safety earlier. meanwhile, the world's richest and most powerful continue to discuss the faith of ukraine or the devil's economic forum. with a dominating sentiment,
11:04 pm
the ukrainians must fight to the end. i am totally committed as one person to seeing you crane to the end with a when not basically resolving in some type of a treaty. i don't think that is where we are and where we should be. we are very happy to have them a fight. our fight. you can must win this war over. this came in sharp contrast to what prominence. u. s. foreign policy veteran, henry kissinger has said, according to him, ukraine should become a neutral country, and this should be a goal for the west. that's exactly what rush has been demanding all along. the id love would be if you could say no c. as in queen and euro, indeed,
11:05 pm
a neutral bridge would search to bring russia and europe into closer cooperation through an alliance that would also help the european union and russia. better compete against both beijing and washington. which could also help explain why the united states is constantly interfering any country on the other side of the planet . to ensure that this bridge never gets built in calling for urgent piece in ukraine, kissinger could very well be drawn on his own professional experience and regrets. you see the terms of the vietnam war ceasefire, which kissinger negotiated on president nixon's behalf, could very well have been reached for years earlier, with tens of thousands more lives saved since the deal had ultimately changed very little within that time frame. so how does kissinger suggest revolving the territorial speech between russia and ukraine?
11:06 pm
a b, i should say, to the status quo ante in this case means that control over crimea, who hans, and on that would be restored to russia. it's almost certainly not what the west and ukraine want to hear. but kissinger, as he always does, is speaking from the perspective of foreign policy realist seeking tangible results in favor of peace and not as the kind by dialogue that tends to dominate the western foreign policy establishment these days. while another pressing issue discussed us is a possible end of globalization. the conflicts in ukraine on western sanctions against russia, exacerbated the economic troubles created by the global pandemic. and the vintage, as how fragile the global economy potentially is. for some speakers of the forum, the outlook is disastrous. you go back to 2007,
11:07 pm
2008 in arab spring. you look at the economic indicators, then you had 40 nations with political unrest, ryah's protest. and today the conditions are actually worse. globalization is not a good thing. it's so great. is it moving? is it boise? i think it's that poor, really pausing. we had downgraded our projections for growth for this year in april, for a 143 countries and sees the any in the short period of time, a little bit like the weather here in babylon. the horizon has darkened one of the main consequences of di globalization is the decline of production prompting a rise in food protectionism. for example, malaysia has recently announced that it would bonnets chicken exports to secure its own food supplies. indian authorities have also restricted sugar exports after putting an embargo on wheat trade outside the country,
11:08 pm
the move came in response to a shop rise in wheat prices, threatening food security in india, neighboring countries. we asked the director of the geopolitical economy, research group read. he could decide about the food situation in india. food production in india as in many of the places is already being affected. the 2nd thing is that for the last many decades, as india has become more and more neo liberal, it has actually caused a great erosion in small holder agriculture at that has that is one of the key reasons why malnutrition, as in please, because there used to be a very large number of people who are basically able to produce what they consume. india is already even before 2022. india was already at the bottom of the need deal is on the absolute bottom, but very near the bottom of the loot did was in terms of food security, the adequacy of food provision in india. so this is a, so at one level, you know, whereas the u. s. and other countries are criticizing india in fact,
11:09 pm
you should be praising in the are the factors. and you should have done this a long time ago. basically what you have to realize is the rest that is waging a war against russia in which ukraine is the proxy. as so many people have said, the u. s. wants to fight russia till the last ukranian it is, the u. s. is war. the u. s. is waging this war, unmindful of the consequences for its own population, which is already suffering. and of course, amid all this, people are completely forgetting about so many countries. in the 3rd world, that neo liberal policies have made reliant on food imports. and they are going to take the brunt off all of this. and i think really what's offered is for all countries to sit down and manage food, supplying some equitable fashion. but given the way the united states is great, i don't see it happening. also speaking of the devil's forum, australia's e commissioner has called for a recalibration of human rights,
11:10 pm
particularly the freedom of speech. what's her words? half spots, anger. we'll have more not later in the program over its own green r, which has declared a war time states of emergency over the conflicts in ukraine, which will allow the government to bypass parliaments with any decrees that the you continues to pressure. budapest over russian oil embargo, like we see the war and the sanctions from brussels have lead to massive economic upheaval and drastic priced increases. the world is on the brink of an economic crisis. hungary must stay out of this war and protect the financial security of families. when this requires room for maneuver and the ability to act immediately, the government is exercising its right under the constitution to declare a war time state of emergency from midnight tonight. this will allow the government to respond immediately and protect hungry and hungarian families by any means possible. the prime minister's order comes amid heated debates on a possible russian oil embargo. while the majority of the members have declared,
11:11 pm
they are ready to go without russian energy hungry opposes upon. we'd be to all bonds, say no sanctions can be discussed as a consensus in europe hasn't yet been reached. the executive vice president of the rage center thing. thank earth rasmussen believes the hungarian prime minister is trying to confront the repercussions of the energy crisis. despite all the tensions within europe. prime minister organ and sees the tension is going on. you see the one we've got a potential global food crisis happening we. we already know that we've got a european energy crisis. he's had to fight off the you from and stand up for hungering needs and requirements, and there people, will he be get additional pressure from europe? absolutely. but do i believe he's acting in the best interests of hungering?
11:12 pm
absolutely. europe in general has is in the process of committing economic suicide . i think gorb and see that. and i think he's trying to prevent that and to mitigate the impacts of, of the downfall on europe. and it's going to affect the hungarian economy somehow. but i think he's trying to mitigate the input, the negative implications of that. meanwhile, the head of the european commission has made a u turn, while talking about russian oil been seen to move would not be safe for the economy . her live on the line has previously insisted on energy functions against russia. but now it says an oil embargo would only benefit president putin. so today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be if we would completely cut immediately as of today of the oil, he might be able to take the oil that he does not sell to the european union to the world's market,
11:13 pm
where the prices will increase and sell it for more. the west is getting more desperate. i think they see russia winning this war in eastern ukraine. so far the economic sanctions against russia have not hurt russia. in fact, the rubel is now record highs. meanwhile, it seems like the sanctions of backfired on the west. i don't see how your can refuse russian oil. i mean maybe they could try to be less dependent on it. but the fact is it's the closest oil supply. so this is an insane move by europe if they do this. and i think a lot of leaders there in the population know it. i think they know that their political future is probably on the line. but again, whether they will follow what they know is uncertain. as return now to the breaking news from texas where 19 children have been killed as a must shooting it's an elementary school. the incidence has once again highlights of the deep divisions in the country over gun controls with president biden. once
11:14 pm
again, calling for a stance against the powerful gone lobby. as a nation, we have to ask when in god's name we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in god's name we do, we all know or got needs to be done and don't tell me. we can't have an impact on his current age or what we understand. the shooter is identified as an 18 year old male. it's a ledge that he shot his own grandmother who was in critical condition before then, fleeing the home and going from there to the school, opening fire on the school children at a nearby elementary school. now this is bringing shock throughout the country. people are utterly horrified by these events. many feel that politicians continue to make promises when it comes to the issue of gun control, but fail to actually deliver meaningful changes that could prevent tragedies like the one just witnessed here in the united states. schools should be sanctuaries of
11:15 pm
safety for our children, not where they go to die. joined the millions of americans demanding our lawmakers stand up to the gun lobby so our children don't have to stand up to gunman. the up . when you do nothing, you get nothing. i'm so sick of voting for candidates who promised gun controls you consistently end up doing nothing. let's be honest. the gun lobby has one. there are more guns than people in circulation in america today. and now the same merchants of death tell us that if we only had more guns on the street, we would be safer. it's madness. now back at the scene in texas, we understand that there is a local recreational facility where the family members of school children are able to be reunited with their surviving children. and we also understand there's impromptu medical services being set up in the area to make sure that those who suffered gunshot wounds and other injuries are treated as a very serious situation. law enforcement is on the scene. at this point,
11:16 pm
the country is trying to find out what the possible motive could be. now this comes on the he of a recent mass shooting that took place in a buffalo supermarket where a shooter opened fire targeting people because of their race. and it's also important to note that it is only made for the end of may. and so far this year in the united states, there have been $212.00 mass shooting incidents that have already taken place this year. so people are looking at the united states, they're continuously a conversation about how to deal with these ongoing shooting. it's particularly hard to getting when the victims are children. you know, this is an elementary school. ready that was targeted many heartbreaking remarks coming out of people. many shocked words from local officials and observers, parents, community members, quite a heartbreaking incident. and we expect that in the aftermath of that, we will see new renewed debate regarding the issue of gun control and united states
11:17 pm
. and while joe biden has written a piece on volume in the landscape, a time magazine rating him as one of the most influential people of the year, the president says he's cons about has left his mark on world history in president lensky, the people of ukraine have a leader worthy of their bravery and resilience as citizens across the country. shopkeepers and soldiers, taylor's and truck drivers fight for their homes and their freedom. soleski has already been listed in the top 100 most influential leaders of 2022. i was on the cover time magazine's april issue, but biden's eulogies have been questioned by some social media uses investigative journalists, lauren, which explains why biden is so adamant in supporting the ukrainian president. i am not sure i agree that he is really influential. he has been elevated by nato, propagandists and officials as some deified sympathy figure had to justify nato misbehavior. he is essentially being used by nato as
11:18 pm
a symbol and proxy zalinski for ruining ukraine completely. this moron couldn't manage a simple act of how to avert nato joining before putin has his name in time magazine . citizens world over are ashamed of having their leaders like zalinski, like bite into west zalinski is a disgrace to rest. the people of ukraine have a leader that would sacrifice thousands of ukrainians in order to post model for a 1st page in western media. biden has an interest in ukraine. both leaders don't represent the wants of their own country in their own countrymen . i think it's funny that joe biden is praising zelinski when joe biden is over here, pulling 75 percent almost, and 80 percent disapproval rating. what they're doing is acting against the interest of their own people and their own best interests and so on. and by then, you know, they both have the same political interest. they're both very poor leaders who are not looking out for their own people. you know,
11:19 pm
he may rank very high with mr. biden, but it goes to show that nobody supported the $40000000000.00 to ukraine in the united states of america. and nobody stands with him on his statements as the landscape, his praises landscape for sure. he is not. he's kind of going road doing his own thing constantly with pro ukraine propaganda saying, hey, listen, we have to throw our support behind ukraine. we have to rally behind this war with no regard for what ukrainian people want or no regard for what the american people want. i don't want more or generation doesn't want more. there is a whole global if it's essentially a conspiracy to wage a world war that nobody, the ordinary citizens do not support over the pakistan. now where the government has been de rally planned by the ousted prime minister, wrong con,
11:20 pm
who demanded early elections or forces in about put the road blocks ahead of the rally. the government said the events should not go ahead and threaten to arrest processes who quote spread calles. they 1st raised the issue of a foreign conspiracy than the assassination plot and now they are trying to spread and are key in the garb march. he said this march is going to be bloody. they had already raised civil disobedience slogans, and attacked institutions. they will be stopped as they wanted to attack the federation from one province. all their braves have now gathered in per shower and i warned them to behave. decision came after a policeman was killed during raids on the homes of con supporters. there ought to be more than $400.00 arrests, allegedly made to prevent the protest in the country's capital. it was supposed to have been the latest and serious demonstrations in different cities organized by the foreign pm. over this time, the authorities accused calling of inciting a civil war like situation and threatened him with arrest. not yvonne says this is
11:21 pm
a mind for real freedom from the start of school. he has given people are different angles in a part by this new policy. by telling them that he wants to live at hon. life life independent of external influences and that he wants to live with respect. and this is what is resonated with a lot of people. this is a reason why he decided eventually to march on. it's not about the biggest problem that the new government is facing, is lack of credibility. the sitting prime minister siobhan city and then other allies in the coalition partner did afraid possibly that if you're on han does manage to bring in terms of thousands of people from about that may create and control level situation for them. and they may have to then given to the similar demand by,
11:22 pm
i'm not hard and that due date for the early election. australia's 1st e safety commissioner has told the world economic form and doubles that freedom of speech among how the human rights should be recalibrated. we are finding ourselves in a place where we are, we have increasing polarization everywhere and everything feels binary when it doesn't need to be. so i think we're gonna have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online. you know from freedom of speech to the freedom to you know, to be free from on online violence or the right of data protection to the right to child dignity big us wedding on a legit call to tampa with freedom of speech met strong backlash on social media, so the so called recalibration appeared to be an attempt to type and censorship. it's either free or it isn't. there's nothing to hard to figure out about this.
11:23 pm
they want to change definitions of words, so we don't know what they mean any longer and they can do as they like. the right to be free from online violence already exists. you block the person or turn off your computer or scroll past or just close your eyes. we don't need that to be recalibrated. i'd like to recalibrate how much influence these people have over my rights though? laughing out loud world economic forum, forgot to disable comments on just one of their tweets and i pointed out, well now i'm blocked. actually, she was rather ambiguous and leave terminology. i mean, she spoke about re calibration of human rights of freedom of speech, of online violence, but she didn't go very much into what exactly this entails and what does it mean. but regardless of what she did mean, there was a clear backlash against her comments. we saw on twitter,
11:24 pm
many people consider these comments as being an infringement ranching on their human rights on their freedoms. it's such a step is taken as she advice. i think this will lead to actually even more polarization, because it will be perceived within the framework of the infringement of the human rights to cancel out or to a place, an embargo on alternative sources of information, whether it's in different issues of the world in different conflict it is, i think, leaning towards one particular narrative and demonizing the other narrative. and i think many different one in which some countries are guilty of this same mistake. us on the south east asian countries have signed an economic agreement at the conclusion of the quad summit. the indo pacific economic framework is essentially aimed at countering growing chinese influence in asia. the plan will set international rules on the digital economy on supply chains, among other issues. speaking about the agreement present by them that they were
11:25 pm
writing the new rules for the 21st century economy. that will help their economies grow faster and farrah. earlier my colleague, you know, neil's votes off he sees will depart, host august on a boy, i thought the development 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 at primarily geopolitical 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, they come with credits, they come with real resources. they do projects that actually benefit people's lives. and whether or not it benefits china, your political agenda,
11:26 pm
of course it does. but it also offers 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 a, you know, it's a, it's all very abstract at this point. india pierre moody, standing up as a has done for quite some time, saying we're not taking sides. it's indian interests 1st, in terms of mutually beneficial cooperation. therefore, between the u. s. on these countries, is that 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 their interest 1st and never consider the interest of not only their enemies, but even that, that allies and abstract as these frameworks since to be again dividing the ministration stresses that it needs to bring huge benefits to the american
11:27 pm
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 to learn. but again, this agreement doesn't offer anything concrete to those countries. it doesn't offer any privileged access market, it's not a free trade agreement. so there was looking at 6 in moscow time this wednesday morning. my name is peter scott on the buck again with another look at today's biggest stories in just over half an hour's time. ah. with russian state to never. unfortunately,
