ah, he's with likely and lower british and law. not only is it loaded, but it is also locked. so one careless step, one careless push, and this thing will open fire or to explore the as of stall, industrial area, and bar you pull, which was the epicenter of fighting and recent weeks between russian forces and hold up ukrainian nationals, troops as de mining efforts are now underway, economic turbulence in to thousands of lost jobs predicted as you aims for a potential 6th round of sanctions against moscow. the shortage of russian fertilizers in mexico takes its toll on the local farmers who have raised alarms

about in pending disaster. as they lose more and more crops, it would basically mean death. what would happen to the people in the whole country without agriculture, with a live direct from our studios in moscow? this is art international and john thomas, glad to have you with us. as we recap, the week's top stories and moscow has said that it uncovered an elaborate planned by ukrainian nationalist forces to shell russian territory from the north eastern ukrainian city of assuming this is near the border to provoke a response from russia and then to detonate chemical reserves to accuse moscow of committing a chemical attack this according to the russian government. now elsewhere in the war torn port, city of marsupial civilian life has been gradually returning. following 2 months of

intense fighting russian forces have been de mining the harbor, enabling the 1st commercial vessel to enter the water. since the war started, about 13000 explosives have reportedly been uncovered in the area so far. now the mining operations have also been underway at the cities as of stall industrial plant, which was the epicenter of fighting between russian and ukrainian forces in recent weeks. more than 2000 ukrainian troops surrendered there recently. and now their former positions are being inspected for booby traps nor teeth. it goes on reports on location and a bit of a warning. you may find some of the following images disturbing. so this is the place where the as of new nazi battalion tried to break through the encirclement and will somehow get to the other sure. some were swimming across this river. at least tried woke. they failed. and as you can see, this place is in ruins. there still mines are scattered across this place and there's an armored personnel carrier behind me as well that toppled and fell into

the river. and if you were to peak around the corner, just like i did in the beginning, you can still see some of its crew floating in the water as, as of was trying to escape the plan to escape the as of style steelworks. they tried to gain a foothold here under this bridge, making it a temporary shelter for them. a rush, an air raid found them, and while they failed, they couldn't escape. and here you can see all sorts of weapons and equipment scattered around the place, like there's a rocket launcher over there, a, a vest and armored vest over here you have a 2nd rocket launcher, likely in and lower british and law. not only is it loaded, but it is also locked. so one careless step, one careless push and this thing will open fire. all these vehicles around me were

destroyed. full of armaments full of weapons, machine guns, sub machine guns, assault rifles, grenades, you name it here. you can also see plenty of cases like this case from some miss our launch. unfortunately, i can't tell which one exactly, probably an american made stinger. so all these vehicles they carried some sort of armaments for the as of battalion. and quite interestingly enough, this one is a civilian car. yet if you look under the seats here, you can see minds 120 in caliber. so they were disguising themselves as civilians, and they will shipping, transporting weapons to the as of neo nazi battalion at the plant. well, and here a group of as of neo nazi fighters. this is where they rested one last time before making the final push. you can see stretches here, probably this is where they treated the wounded little bit over here you can see

special medical services that were designed specifically to cut clothes on an injured person. also a lot of bullets and even grenades scattered all over this place. e leaders have so far failed to reconcile differences over a long awaited 6th round of sanctions against russia, which might include an oil ban that's as the president of the austrian industries federation. georgia mcneil has sounded the alarm over a possible halt of gas in ports. he says, an embargo might cause 300000 to austrians to lose their jobs. it would have massive negative effects on our economy. the greatest risk does not come from russia. this is not the security of planning that we require. this would be a straight path towards a loss of prosperity. earlier hungary held up the use 6, the package of anti russian sanctions saying that

a halting russian oil imports would cripple its economy. meanwhile, european industry leaders in the precious gem and car production sectors are worried about a looming mass unemployment and major jolts for factories there. they say that this will also have little to no consequences for moscow artes your correspondent, tro davinsky reports will if he thought the surgeon household energy prices was bad enough and then to add on to that the increase in basic goods, then you may want to walk away from your screen right now, because the warnings coming from certain industries about the feature of the european economy, if the block continues with its sanctions against russia is pretty devastating. this will start off 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 current 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 b, u. s. a said to cause a problem already in the supply worldwide. 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 but say, so no reason. by banning russian stones,

we would only be cutting our own flesh. it would cost $10000.00 jobs in one fell swoop, and it won't hurt the russians. they would just fly their stones to do by that despite is pussy in quite a warning. so different industries, it seems that the e wants to do a full steam ahead with the sanctions. it's already saying that it looks set to approve a sick set of sanctions, hopefully in the next few days. now, throughout the war and ukraine is the new is been announcing new sanction package, often new sanction package. it is said one thing pretty consistently that the packages of sanctions must hom, the russian economy. more than they calm the economy, scale 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 this 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. meanwhile, the head of the european commission has made a u. turn while talking about a russian oil band saying that the move wouldn't be safe for the economy or sale of underlying previously insisted on energy sanctions against russia. but now she says, an oil embargo would only benefit president put him. so today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be 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. 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, seems like the sanctions of backfired on the west. i don't see how europe 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 supplies. 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. the far reaching effect of western sanctions on russia has it been impacting latin america as well? with russia, one of the world's largest fertilizer exporters, accounting for more than 12 percent of the global market sanctions on exports have put the whole region on the verge of an agricultural crisis. ortiz alex pinion reports from mexico to learn you propose. in last year i planted 3 actors,

but this year only one year, due to rising prices for raw materials, and especially due to the shortage of russian fertilizers caused by the imposed sanctions. sergio garcia has had to plant less corn and tomatoes this year. over the past decade, mexico's agricultural sector has become more dependent on russian fertilizers, particularly urea. according to preliminary estimates, mexico needs about 6000000 tons of fertilizer this year, philip, without us going, the zone is not in it was these problems are not related to a long standing friendly partnership, but are explained by the difficulties in transporting goods on a global level which arose primarily because of the situation with russia and ukraine. therefore, it's currently difficult to import fertilizers into mexico sim. but i think that the growing crops with our fertilizer could be a real disaster from mexico and if the moment villas at the moment farmers are considering different options to get out of the situation. for example, it has been proposed to use other types of fertilizers or apply smaller amounts to

reduce costs. sir ju garcia's buying less fertilizer, where he previously used 5 bags of fertilizer. now he only uses 3 days. late this unit number month, i will try to grow crops. i can only hope that i will not lose the money i have invested. but i do not think that is possible. i think production volumes will decrease elephant montana. the meter is also a shortage of fertilizers and warehouses in a, in general, 20 per cent of farmers costco to fertilizers. but amid the shortage that figure has risen to 50 percent according to forecast by the end of the spring summer cycle. farmers may lose part of their crops, in some cases up to 50 percent. lily bottom, ayana with the price may change from day to day, particularly thought any issues with the weather. as the saying goes, don't count your chickens before they hatch. the mexican government has said it plans to triple fertilizer production to support the agricultural sector. so far. 740000 farmers and 9 mexican states have taken advantage of free fertilizers to

feed their corn beans, wheat, and rice crops. the problem is there is not enough support for every one jeopardizing employment for hundreds of thousands of families and driving of food prices. a major crisis is brewing yet. unfair come all. it would basically mean death. what would happen to the people, the whole country without agriculture? the trade turnover between mexico and russia may seem insignificant in relation to other countries. but as we see, it is of strategic importance. i think the ceo of this situation will really harm our economic relations and trade turnover, which has been on the rise. of course, it must be taken into account that due to the conflict in ukraine and the sanctions imposed against russia, this growth will stop and the trade turnover will decrease economic sanctions against russia, imposed over the conflict in ukraine or having macroeconomic consequences. and mexican farmers are already feeling their impact within just

a few weeks time. one of them alex pinion, 40 mexico city. it has been a tumultuous week in pakistan as at thousands of supporters of acid prime minister imran cons political party have taken to the streets to protest against the countries at new leadership appointed by parliament. some of the demonstrations have descended into violence amid clashes with police. ah, i please have been using tear gas to disperse. the enraged protestors accused of throwing stones amid the violence. numerous people were detained authorities put up roadblocks to prevent droves of concert supporters from entering the capital islamabad. but the demonstrators still managed to break through the asteroid. prime minister organized a march to demand new elections after he was deposed last month, and a vote of no confidence by the national parliament. and on his way to islamabad,

con, spoke out to his supporters, saying the newly appointed government served under washington's orders. oh, monique, i cannot go to day american servants in pakistan's, most corrupt people, our government are afraid of the people i drove on. they had blocked the roads with the shipping containers all over pakistan, stopping our people and arresting them. the guy was, the local journalist sent us this report before him. ron cons arrival in the capital on how his followers removed road blocks set up by the police. you can see the content as the ord was blocked from that site, but they have grants. they have a cucumbers, they have all of my focus. so they are removing that. are grands and of clearing the doors about that at home. tons of pablo for his supporters, along with him on thousands of because so this group you, you can see these people know they have the support as far my nearby areas. so they

have arrived as the, as the mas force to remove these trucks. so they are raj billiard, data chanting snore guns, and they say that they do not accept the important garment and they need elections pot. i stuck what no one can stop us. the government is like a bad which appears only at night. if interior minister is brave, she must come here in daylight. we will go to islamabad, will reach de check. we will throw out this imported government about our demand. well, we don't accept this imported government, this government must resign immediately. the political turmoil has been exacerbated by rising fuel prices as the new government has increased tariffs in a reported bid to unlock more. i am at funding for the country. some say cons office would not have permitted those controversial price hikes. journalists, java, runa says that the current government is being orchestrated by the us. this government has him clearly because places of iron because it is on the depletion of

the armor, which is controlled by the u. s. u. s. was very unhappy with the former prime minister because it made it clear that the the, the show was get, was ready to give us all on 30 percent confession. and he's the economy of the pockets on has been in the back position in 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 focus on and when people came to know this is jim jones agenda was stalked by americans. i think then people who don't know, hundreds of calls and they'll come the farmer farmers on the fish. the u. s. has warned the potential spat posed by americans traveling to ukraine with washington, fearing that supporters of neo nazi groups could return home after gaining experience in battle. and intelligence document has suggested keeping

a close eye on those american nationals heading to the war, torn country or corresponding. but i got to have comments. the u. s. department of homeland security, as it turns out, is secretly very nervous. far from the pro war bravado you might see jarring, whitehouse press conferences or then american border and customs agents have realized that there's going to be a whole lot of fool out when american volunteers and ukraine, those who survive get back home. what kind of training are foreign fighters receiving in ukraine that they could possibly proliferate? and us based militia and white nationalist groups, an advisory intelligence note disseminated to airport security and border god's wounds agents that many of those americans heading for ukraine are of the unsavory sort the far right sort. the buffalo shooting happened just 2 weeks ago. the crazy

murderer who believed that shooting african americans in a supermarket, proved that his race was superior, had this symbol on his chest. the black sun symbol, a neo nazi symbol, also featured in the flag of ukraine's infamous as of battalion. and the department of homeland security is well aware of what's going on. ukrainian nationalist groups including the resolve movement are actively recruiting, racially or ethnically motivated, violent extremist white supremacists, to join various neo nazi volunteer battalions in the war against russia. to join that various new nazi volunteer battalions in the war against russia. that's the u . s. government official assessment behind the scenes. let me quote what the u. s. intelligence note describes as of as has of is a fall, right? military unit whose members autrand nationalists and accused of harboring neo nazi

and white supremacist ideology. engaged instead of phobic and new nazi ideals and physically assaulted migrants and people opposing their views. ah, things get this previously just a few months ago as of was expressly forbidden from receiving any u. s. financial military aid. but that clause has now been erased. now, american, money and weapons could openly be transferred to as of even ass. the u. s. government keeps tabs on those wanting to join ukrainian nationalists. they have

a bunch of examples. the sorts of folk volunteering, but to goods members and affiliates of saw rights and anti government malicious. which, amongst other things, want to start a civil war in america. subject one stated he intends to hitch a ride to levine ukraine, and he will be working with a local militia group who will provide him with weapons open source information indicated subject. one was a vocal who movement leader in virginia adherence, se bogle and movement, or preparing for or seek to incite a 2nd american civil war. subject to stated, he served 4 years in the u. s. army as an infantryman and previously served in afghanistan, subject 3, stated he hoped to obtain a work contract with the resolved battalion. when they get t cray, they go to learn all sorts of things. they go to learn how to make bombs, they going to learn how to hide and plot them, how to stage ambushes,

how to conceal their intentions. they go to learn how to wage war, and they're going to learn from the best. the massive number of ukrainian neo nazi battalions advisors who have run free and grown wildly powerful over the past decade. and then if they survive, they go to return to america, to texas, to florida, to washington, with all that knowledge and hate in their heads. you can probably see now why the u. s. department of homeland security is concerned us has planned to bring in over 1000000 cans of baby formula from overseas in the coming weeks after a shortage. has that seen empty store shelves nationwide due to disruptions in the supply chain? if stems from february shut down of a formula manufacturer that had controlled almost half of the domestic market earlier, new york's mer declared

a state of emergency over the shortfall. the nationwide infant formula shortage has caused unimaginable pain and anxiety for families across new york. and we must act with urgency the mayor of new york city, eric adams declaring a state of emergency because of a lack of availability of baby formula nationwide. but also here in the city in the boroughs the queen in the borough of brooklyn, people just don't find it on the store shell. it's not there. and this comes on the back of joe biden, invoking the defense production act, getting the military involved reading this as a national emergency. the fact that baby formula is not available there is a nationwide shortage. this is some of the reaction with america being in the current year. and now we don't have the funds in order to pay for, you know, the inflation or the prices in higher gas and things like that. it's really hard. and bill with the price is going up on everything. i don't have food for your

babies. it's kind of like, where's my health, when i neil us government stuff like that more not only for the formula to supply chain issue why i don't understand why our government isn't doing more now. one of the major factors leading up to this was the shutting down of a facility that made a very large percentage of us baby formula. i was determined that there were unsanitary conditions at the facility. some babies were infected. so as a result of that, this facility was shut down by the food and drug administration that caused a shortage. in addition to that, there are issues related to the supply chain. i increase demand coming out of the pandemic, etc. but all of this is creating a situation where a lot of people are very, very nervous. you can't find a formula anywhere. we've looked at walmart, walgreens, my baby can't find anywhere. it's really, really hard to find. we've looked all over at wal mart here, target everywhere like in formulas,

basically out everywhere. it's hard to go to the store and find exactly what, what he's drinking with all the other formula, like he was sitting up and everything and it's coming out of the nose. we switch them to this one and it's just hard to find the formula that he's on. this is being treated as a very serious emergency here in new york city and a national level. we've heard some thunderous speeches on the floor of congress. money has been allocated to deal with this, but many people are looking at this as a failure of dividing in ministration. why was not taken more seriously? why was priority not given to this issue rather than dealing with international issues. ready that they seem to have been given priority to. so a lot of anger as a lot of working families are worried about where baby formula will come from. there's also been reports of price gouging because baby formula is so rare. there been reports of people charging quite a bit of money for it, you know, i mean the shortage, there's attempts to crack down on that. so why does serious situation especially here in new york city. ready but all across the united states,

u. s. secretary of state, anthony blinking said on friday that turkeys objections to finland and sweden joining nato would soon be overcome. possibly even before the alliance's summit next month earlier turkeys president accused those northern countries of supporting what it considers kurdish terrorist groups and said that the block has failed to address those concerns. we believe that an enlargement policy, which disregards the fundamental aspects of security won't bring benefits for us or for nato. all nato states would need to agree for a new member state to be accepted on cra, has accused to stockholm and helsinki of harboring members of the kurdistan workers party, which turkey considers a terrorist organization on cra, also wants sanction lifted over its military operation. again, kurdish forces in syria, global affairs analyst use of area and believes that the turkish public is firmly

behind the government's position on the matter. they're generally turkey as a government and as the people have supported data, it's open door policy. but right now there's beyond an open door policy. there are very legitimate national security concerns. a switch sweden, especially more sweet and then then link with the swedish government support for the p k. the public opinion is definitely in support of the government right now that turkey does not want to be sweet, enjoined nato, until the security concerns are address with the nato summit coming up in madrid at the end of june. i don't think this question will be solve until the nato summit. i think our one will seek a broader, grander bargain, and be able to sit down with the full leadership of each needed members state and be able to discuss it there. because these concerns are broader than just finland and sweden. i haven't seen pragmatism from the sweetest side. and the turkish president said that unless the compromises there is no use for the swedish

leadership to come to turkey. anyway, he said that before when the deputy foreign minister, we didn't want to come in said there's no need to come to the country. so the circus presidents holding very firm in his position. both finland and sweden have faced domestic opposition against their bid to join the western military alliance. in sweden, 2nd largest city guttenberg crowds took to the streets to express concerns about the country potentially being dragged into native wars. politicians in both nordic nations have refused to put the issue up for a rent for them. a prominent journalist in finland recently burned the nato flag and protest against joining the block. you ha cor, horn and the chairman of the association of independent journalist conducted the demonstration in the center of helsinki. we spoke to him about the countries public perception of the us led military block. not only lisa durable is all the swarming nato will not increase phelan security. there are many people in finland who are

against nato, especially because the block is increasing tensions with russia. we have a shirt long border of 1300 kilometers on the fence of learn to live in harmony with russia here for 80 years and do not want any tension. we don't know exactly how many friends are against joining nato now, but the full though is 60 or even 70 percent of the population. therefore, the sins have taken a civil initiative on a referendum in record time. and this initiative is received the necessary 50000 votes. however, the parliament has still refused to take this into account, which is unprecedented. this referendum of the finished people was ignored for political reasons. the finish politicians just wanted everything to be passed very quickly. fully the finland and sweden that bid for nato membership have been almost universally welcomed by the current nato states. but there is opposition, as we just heard from turkey and also from croatia. you ha, cornyn again says that he is angered that the finish public is not being allowed

a say in one of the countries biggest decisions in decades. they was son or a dallas, or we lived in finland that an unprecedented time debased and feminine. then in the media and now completely under the control of nato, the finished media was completely one sided about nato. but in fact, the more serious problem in finland, his social networks were if you say something against nato, you will immediately be called an agent of a foreign government. that is, in this case, a russian agent. people are intimidated at work even found and yell that in social networks are not allowed to speak out against nato, or simply expressed their own opinions. my generation has never witnessed something like this when people are being completely gagged and this is just sad. in my opinion, this is absolutely killing the conversation on social networks by burning the nato flag. and i wanted to show that finland still dares to express its own opinion even if they are trying to silence had in every possible way.
