[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, the danielle peoples republic says if gain control of 220 localities from ukrainian forces since the war erupted 3 months ago, and russia doubles down on terrorism, accusations against caves, troops in the done by us protests erupt in reaction to a deadly school shooting as a texas police admit, they made it crucial mistakes when responding to the emergency political attentions in pakistan flare up as the new government increases fuel prices. supporters of the recently, also the prime minister iran con, believed he would have prevented that from happening with con,

would do. he had maintained the price at $150.00 pakistani rupees. this government jumped to 180 pakistani rupees. the regular, the ministers are inside air conditioned rooms, enjoying air condition cars. they are corrupt people and they blame him. ron con, with kathy my direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you. with right now, the don units, people's republic has announced that it's allied russian lead forces have taken control of 220 metalli's. since the conflict erupted in february. the port city of marble is the largest of those places pictured is a former ukrainian artillery position at the as of stall steel factory, which was at the epicenter of 2 months of intense fighting him. or, you know, this is footage of recently taken village near the town of novel growth sky, which ukrainians have nicknamed new york. the village has recently been under

continuous shelling by key of forces in the neighboring lucon. sk republic. ukrainian military attack on a town killed 3 people and wounded 14 on friday. meanwhile, excuse me. russia's defense ministry has doubled down on claims that key forces have been engaging in terrorism against civilians, particularly accusations that ukrainian neo nazis haven't called for genocide against russian and greek minorities. in the dining republic, british journalist, steve sweeney, who recently visited ukraine, says that he faced arrest and death threats while reporting there. here earlier showed his story with my colleague, you know, neil, i thought it's important to go. i'm actually inside you crate and to try and get to the truth about what's happening there because as your viewers and and yourself will be where to where the british media reporting is now incredibly restrictive.

so you have the, the times that telegraph guardian, the b, b, c, channel falls guy, news, all really were producing identical reports from kevin, from live, but don't deviate a tool from the, from, from the government, bind from the line on, on what's happening. so i thought was a journalist really is mine, my job, my duty is to report the truth, the truth, the truth matters. so that was why i thought it was important to get in a report on the ground. and there was a number of stories really the, i wanted to check out, i traveled in to live in western ukraine. i traveled in from, from poland, where the crossing is, is still open. and i have to say that the 1st thing that struck me really was on my coach on the way. and i was opposite a man with a tattoo of a gun on his face, dressed in fatigues. now, you know, we don't really judge by we shouldn't really judge by appearances, but yeah, i think that told me really everything that i needed needed to know before i even

entered and live. and the city itself was essentially full of fascists and mercenaries. people in military fatigues are using civilian transport networks to enter into ukraine and whether any checks on those people are getting in any questioning as to where they were going, etc. i mean these, these people, this is the, i'm in a read is that the people the, the address, the minutes you fatigue and then coming to fine on the ukrainians are welcomed with open arms so that they rolled the red car on the back and own treated as is hero, and that's the harmony i went on with a pendant camera. and you know, what happened to me was very stark contrast. i mean, if i was going with it for 2 years and a gun, i said i'm going to kill russians then i would have been very,

very welcome. instead, what happened to me was, i was told that, you know, aust quizzed about my business and you cry told i was a spy. told that i would be arrested and tortured the indication was possibly worse than that. which means that they would have potentially killed me great as being made to whitewash this will rehabilitate the office either like having no influence in ukraine or you know, all being just simply misunderstood nationalists. i deconstructed this and the b. b . c showed what i could only describe as a 9 minute master classic fascism does. denial, as russian forces make advances in the ukraine conflict, according to them. western nations are continuing to push their same old rhetoric, calling for ukraine to, to accept no terms of quote dictated peace and to fight until the end. despite key of forces seemingly losing ground, ortiz correspondence from on

a couple of comments. brushes. recent advances amid the conflict in ukraine have split western politicians into 2 camps. some are calling on key of to accept moscow demands to reach a quicker piece. others are pushing key of to flight till the last man standing more weapons, no talks, no compromise. this is a very strong signal to all other aggressors potential criminals, that if you commit a crime and you are not destroyed within 3 months, then everything is in order. everything can stay like that. we also agree on this point. we're not doing anything that would make nato a party to the conflict. that would mean a direct confrontation between nuclear powers. it is rather a matter of making it clear to prudent that there will be no dictated peace. ukraine will not accept that, and neither will we know dictated thess as the german chancellor. but the reality on the ground says otherwise. in the next republic, thousands of ukraine's most experienced troops are now close to encirclement. the

forces of villa ganske republic have almost completely regained control of the republic territory. russian forces are making advances in the south and the north. and all the western funding and weapons sent to the key of regime doesn't seem to be helping to change the situation. on the front lines, we've lost to the russian army in terms of pace. the russian side has managed to gather its reserves before we could where lagging behind. and that makes the situation at the front extremely difficult. ukraine's soldiers have been surrendering by the thousands and have scathing words for their leadership. it was the best option for us when we heard the military vehicles coming, we took off our helmets in body armor and went out. absolutely no one wanted to fight. we all wanted to leave, they said you're the border patrol. they won't make you fight,

but they deceived us and sent us here. also, in mid march, i received an order from the brigade commander to dig a trench. they needed it to bury about 50 of our soldiers. among them were my friends. it turned out the commander simply covered up the losses and then lied to the families of those who were killed. even the west, the main cheerleaders and arms suppliers are starting to doubt the chances of their ally to teen at great cost to himself and to rush him. if he is continuing to shoot through ground on vast, he's continuing to make gradual, slow, but i'm afraid palpable progress. so why do the weapons and money keep flowing? if many realize they're fighting for a lost cause, the truth seems quite obvious ends and will rather sad. key of their friends in the west are pursuing a so called scorched earth policy and the done boss to leave as much infrastructure

destroyed. and as many civilians effected as possible before their retreat and leave it to russia to deal with what i think american government officials but very clearly the goal of the war and the army to supply the ukrainian government is the de, stabilize the russian government. and they've been pretty open about the. ready being to literally bleed, i lead the russian government on the russian state militarily and politically and economically and what the goal of bringing about collapse. so there's been a well, you know, working, straightened media and propaganda campaign. i think the axiom is the truth of the 1st casualty of war, and i think, you know, all sides want to portray themselves is wanting, are being on the cusp of victory. no one wants to admit whether real or not. if they are losing or doing poorly, people usually don't give up on the big shooting table. they think they can win on the battlefield. so i think until one or both sides feel that they've exhausted military resources or a military option better. it only gets to that point when i think people get

serious on negotiating any type of automatic settlement. meanwhile, a group of legal experts has accused russia of violating a un convention against genocide. they say it's an independent analysis, and the 1st official such allegations against russia since the ukraine conflict corrupted in february, our senior correspondent brought garcia, examines the claims while they claim to be entirely independent, they say that all of their financing comes from within the united states but then you look at the roles list, the staff listed, most senior staff are well they're, they're, they're familiar crowd. there are all people who have worked for the united states state department for the pentagon, for the u. s. military, that their people from stratford, which is known as the shadow, cia, they're there from the atlantic council, which is rapidly anti anti russian. i think tag, which for years has called for,

for more and more hawkish behavior by the united states and its allies against russia. nevertheless, the news lives institute doesn't, doesn't make any secret of what its mission is and that is the fashion and to enhance u. s. foreign policy. our purpose is to shape pos, foreign policy based on a deep understanding of regional g. i. politics and the value systems of those regions. well, they're, they're alleging that russia and this is their, the, their words in that, marcia could reasonably be accused of genocide, of all intent to commit genocide. now they, they may call all sorts of arguments which are entirely based on ukraine's point of view and what ukrainian officials and ukrainian media, both of which are in war propaganda mode of said sizing examples of various, as they say, atrocities carried out by, by russian troops that there was no sort of any effort to verify the thing, no sort of effort to,

to check whether this actually happened or whether this is just as it seems. entirely war propaganda from ukrainian pundits anonymous witnesses and the likes. it would be interesting if for this report had mentioned the sorts of things that ukrainian officials have said, i want the word russians to be forgotten in the carcass region. i want the word russians to be forgotten in the loo, ganske, in genetic regions. we have a full moral right to kill these non humans all over the world, calmly and with a completely clear mind over an unlimited amount of time and in the largest possible quantities. if they had been investigating ukraine's intent to commit genocide against russia, they would, i guarantee you have had a much more solid case because what their case rests on his by accusing rush of the intent to commit genocide. they say, rare facts to improve to back this up is the bladder,

mere putin and several russian officials have over the years said the ukraine and russia, a brotherly nations. that they are one people. and you know, in this is a stretch of facts, a stretcher. and exercise, you know, in self deception, to claim that because russia says that ukraine and russia, ukrainians, and russians are one people, it means that motions want to erase you gradient culture and the ukranian identity, which couldn't be further from the truth. there's a plethora of disinformation and miss made that miss statement of facts in this report. basic basic fact. and the end result is that the united states saved the boardman than us media can. and again, wave about a shot, the report. that twists absolutely everything. it can twist to accuse russia of a genocide based on the testimony of ukrainian officials. former senior pentagon security policy analyst,

michael maloof says conflicts like the one unfolding in ukraine are almost impossible to independently analyze. i think given all the sides that are involved in, in this conflict, i don't know that you can actually come up with a so called independent report or an analysis. and there's always going to be influences from various groups and entities. and you're in coming up with these kinds of reports, it's curious that the allegations that they are saying against russians, they're, they're perpetrating themselves from the ukrainian side in the eastern portion of, of ukraine, namely hitting infrastructure. and given the comments that were just made, i don't think it's a genocide at all. it is the fog of war, and it is war. and it's, you don't have what you had in the rwanda situation, where there was

a concerted effort by one tribe to eliminate an annihilate every member of another tribe. you just don't have that here. so i think it's gross exaggeration. it is a narrative that they're trying to push and it doesn't, it still does not fulfill the very definition of what is regarded as genocide under the geneva conventions. in spite of the fact that many, many lives have been lost in texas, law enforcement official acknowledged on friday that officers made critical mistakes in responding to the mass shooting which left 15 children dead. the tragedy has caused a wave of protests with several 100 demonstrators recently gathering outside an event of the u. s. national rifle association to demand stricter government control loss demonstrations have her up to after a mass shooting took place in texas earlier this week when a teenager killed 900 students and 2 teachers at

a school and wounded 17 others have been more than 200 shootings. in the us this year, people blame the national rifle association and blacks laws that allowed teenagers to get guns. but some us sen say that there is a link with russia saying that russians are sponsoring the association. the dark money operation run by the national rifle association. it has immense, if secretive political cloud it's impossible to track the money flowing in and out of the n r a because it's not properly disclosed, but there has been evidence step russian money has flowed into the r a and we heard from an investigative journalist rick sterling, who thinks that these shootings are a symptom of toxicity in american society. i think most americans would look very skeptically at their blaming and blaming russia for the events in all the texas. there is a lot of pressure and criticism of the national rifle association and beyond that,

the weapons industry which has been profiting. what's much less criticized is the defense industry, which of course is, is the, is the elephant in the room and with their recent congressional decision of $40000000000.00 of weapons and other resources to, to ukraine. i think a lot of people are fed up with the violence. i think it's definitely the case that this is symptomatic. the problem isn't just that a problem. teenager could buy weapons, but it's really a symptom of a sick society. in some ways the violence, the alienation, the individual ism, they're all shown in these rebecca beds, which seem to be happening every few weeks now. when it comes to other acute problems, like searching inflation, higher energy prices and a global food crisis,

but from powers are trying to find a scapegoat, seemingly refusing to accept that they themselves could be to blame or take contributor rachel marsden. exams these issues for us. a new line among western lead seems to be that russia is responsible for the entire, almost even those that predate the conflict in ukraine evoking the impact of the ukrainian conflict on energy and prices. as we look at the global g d p, it's hard right now to see how we avoid a recession. but wait a minute, once it marginalizing the rush economy supposed to be a minor detail or russia now being set up to take the blame for decisions made by western leaders themselves. putin's invasion of ukraine has driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. ukraine and russia are the one and 2 largest wheat producers in the world where 3 they are shut down. we saw that in yesterday's inflation data. but western media headlines all throughout by in change is, is told and walk the delicate line on inflation cnn. that same month,

it's joe biden. inflation said the wall street journal in march of this year. but not according to your bible, isn't it fault and united nations secretary general antonio debt is also set last week that russia is causing global hunger and uneven recovery from the pen. demik is already puts many developing countries on the brink of dep default and restrictive sex to financial markets. and now the russian invasion ukraine exemplifying the so they think all these sectors climate change covered 19 and the an equality. but western supermarket shock suffered from supply chain problems relating to labor is where to just link to the code. 19 m related restriction and post by western governments. well before the conflict in ukraine go food systems experts here banker highlighted and recent un security council meeting. i want to

start by explicitly saying that the russia ukraine war did not start the food security crisis. it simply added fuel to a fire that was long burning. a crisis we detected tremors from long before the coven, 1900. pandemic exposed the fragility of our supply chains. russia and the can be lame for potential increase in global carbon emissions. that's right, global warming. the rationale is that western nations are now pledging to build new infrastructure to welcome gas shipments from elsewhere. russia at a time where the green idealists wanting gas completely phased. but again, russia is not responsible for those decisions and hard to control how other countries ship to react political turmoil and pakistan has been rising as the new government has increased fuel prices in a reported bid to on the lock. i m. s. funding for the country. people say that the

previous government would not have permitted this. i'm would you give me a call? let me ask you, what con would do? he had maintained the price at 150 pakistani rupees. this government jumped to 180 pakistani rupees. they have no idea that the increase in the oil prices affects the rest of the prices. but nobody is there to ask them until you end up with a ministers or inside air conditioned rooms, enjoying air condition, cars, and they do not care at all. they are corrupt people and they blame him, ron kon, here the thought. everybody in this country knows very well. the previous government signed an agreement with russia to get oil at a 30 percent discount, but this new controversial government as buying oil just as the u. s. told them to they are buying expensive oil. they are creating a mess that's after media reports have said that the 248 members of cons party have been arrested with some being injured while taken into custody. the face of the various charges, including violence against police con,

has said that 2 members of his party were killed during the roundup in classes with law enforcement officers, journalist and political analyst, java. it says that the current government is simply following us orders. government has him please. it was close to him because it is on the dictations of the armor which is controlled by the u. s. u s. was very unhappy with the former by mister, because it made it clear that the the to show was get, was ready to give us on, on the person confession. and he, the economy of the focus on has been a bit dr. usually any one of the economy back on track. i think when he was removed, there was a public backlash because there was already an american. cindy mentioned fucking song and when people came to know, just to the gym jeans agenda was stalked by. americans. i think then people don't

know in hundreds of thousands, they'll come. the farmer farmers on the fish con, has held a series of rallies to demand of fresh elections after he was outed, and had no confidence boat by the national parliament in april, in scenes of unrest. earlier in the week, demonstrators clashed with police officers used peer gas and barricades to keep people from entering the capital. on thursday. com gave the current government and ultimatum demanding early elections and vowing consequences if his proposal isn't met. within 6 days, protests have been put on hold. since then, writer and global policy. analysts said, mohammed ali says con stands much better chance if the massive show support on the streets continues. if the current government can resist him on cons, pressure, and survive, and improve the economy, then it can seriously dent in cons,

reelection prospects. but if the current government does not manage to improve the economy as much as it wants to, and iran con, can exploit the inability of the kind of government to manage and improve the economy. then it is possible that enron con, can return to bar tag g. tajikistan, excuse me, has hosted a security conference with regional powers focusing on afghanistan during which india has reform support for the people of the war torn country. india's national security advisor highlighted the need to strengthen anti terrorism efforts in afghanistan. the talks were also attended by russian chinese, iranian, and central asian senior officials. india's attempts to assist afghanistan are being made despite deli refusal to recognize the taliban as the legitimate government. sorry bon has said it is ready to cooperate on

a mutually beneficial basis. if anyone has an issue, we are ready to talk and resolve it through peaceful means. we want half canister to become a hub of trade for that. we would like to have good relations and cooperation with every one. now it is for others to reciprocate. pressure tactics have never worked in afghanistan or t contributor r t t crossing points out said have chemist on is of significance. important to new delhi for many reasons. one of the main ones being its relationship with pakistan which porters both india and africa. stan. well, i've gotten this done is good to go for in the us own security because the last time the u. s. v. do drama got down to about to go are i'm starting to cool the grass, but it isn't that focused on the mentoring in the show me that other parts of india, it accelerated and it created

a security issue across the country in india and in the ever since the u. s. has left afghanistan, there is a serious concern with respect to bush mean guy that kind of violence, that the housing by data groups interest meeting, the last one, you know, so it looks like up is done is once again trying to integrate this into question me, it's once again, trying to create a new and order situation as well as a security situation for in your be establishment english mean, that is why i've got to stand good means i'm ready to link 40 b s. o. a group of latin american countries are boycotting at the u. s. hosted summit of the americas next month after the biden administration officially

excluded the venezuelan to nicaragua, the government. cuba president has openly refused to attempt your car law medical. we all recognize that the government of the united states conceived it from the start. this summit of the americas are designed it in a non inclusive way with all the process involved in the position of the united states government. and i can assure you that i will not attend it under any circumstance, the summit of the americas, why it's coming up with the way forward cannot be exclusion as the united states of america intends to do in the misnamed summit of the americas. the way forward cannot be exclusion discrimination against entire nation such as venezuela, cuba, nicaragua, could he not film nor lip? when would that be ended? but i say from here to the united states or forget it. and we're here, we are not interested in being that that summit, we are not interested earlier us senior diplomats had cuba, venezuela and nicaragua would not be invited to the summit because they quote, do not respect democracy. bind administration, however,

has been pushing for better ties with them as whaler, particularly easing energy sanctions, to get more oil from that south american country. daniel shaw, a professor of latin american studies at the city university of new york says the era of u. s. imperialism in the americas is coming to an end. biden's been trying to sure of support for this summit of america. but it's an absolute fiasco at this point. many countries across south america and the hemisphere are going to stand with the excluding countries with nick, with cuba, with that, as well as with bolivia, mexico is spearheading this ever to say, hey, we're all going to sit down and everybody should have a voice. not just the country us imperialism. prioritize is because they control those countries with us to try to do is divide and conquer. you're defining russia as the mean energy giant right now, that's the number one enemy. so they want to do back room years. where does that as

well and see if they can guarantee more oil employees? venezuela in leadership is a world where there is multiple rarity in different. ready pulls and centers is of power is long overdue us to germany economically, diplomatically, militarily is. ready winning every day, and we can feel that in the empires exploding from within all of these races ways i, mrs. school shootings. us is reputation is in all time low international musk attempts to take over twitter is continuing to make waves this week. investors suit the billionaire and the platform itself over alleged corporate law violations during the acquisition process. now the lawsuit focuses on the lead wrongful conduct by musk, while attempting to buy the company. is a key, excuse me,

he's accused of manipulating the stock price to drive down that the cost of acquiring the social network last month must offered to buy the company for $44000000000.00. the lawsuit also says that he took financial advantage of a delayed disclosure of his stake in the company when it exceeded 5 percent. an earlier warning could have pushed up the share price by delaying his disclosure of his stake in twitter, muskie engaged in market manipulation in but twitter stock at an artificially low price. earlier in the market announced the temporary suspension of the purchase of twitter until the company provides more information on the number of fake accounts . the billionaire assumed he should pay less. if it turns out the bots make up over 5 percent of the platforms. total accounts, michael rectinwald's, former new york university professor and author of the gulag the google archipelago believe that musk really tried to lower the price for twitter. his dad was over and
