should negotiate now, while it still has something to negotiate with. the news. breaking news on our t international leaders reach a tentative agreement for a 6th round of sanctions against russia, including a partial embargo on oil import nato. reneged on a promise to russia and says that it was no longer observed restrictions on the stationing forces in eastern europe. but going against what has long been a red line from moscow? ukrainian military, no choice as i've been in attempts to whitewash its image by getting rid of nazi symbols on its uniforms. but recently the photos show, some of those emblems are still being warned. the

buckets in my direct from our studios and moscow, this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with the latest developments in the war in ukraine in the city of done yet . 5 people, including 2 children, have reportedly been killed and 16 injured and intensive showing said to be from the ukranian forces. local authorities have said 3 schools in the city. the capital of the dynamic republic were targeted in attacks by ukraine's military. now the city's mayor has said, ukrainian bombardment was carried out with u. s. heavy weaponry supplied to kiev local officials say that it has been the worst showing of done yet in 8 years since the 2014, when the conflict initially broke out elsewhere in the southeastern ukraine. the city of multiple, currently under russian control has been rocked by an explosion that local authorities are considering a terrorist attack by ukrainian fighters to humanity. volunteers were wounded in

the blast in the city center while they were attempting to deliver aid to residence . ukraine situation, was it the focus of a recent telephone conversation between russia's president putin and his turkish counterpart air the one on gra, has said that it's ready to mediate for a peaceful solution to the conflict, to stamp out possible for the repercussions for the region at large as her prolong hesitations and internal opposition. the e. u has announced a tentative agreement for a fixed round of sanctions against russia. it is to include and embargo, unimportant russia whale, except by pipeline. there is a temporary exception for the oil that comes through the pipeline to, to, to the decision is taken tonight. you start edition 400. so this isn't you know, to take into account the situation of the lent looked countries and small. then hunter is there is in place in the pipeline that

where we can increase the prime minister explained to us tonight, the capacity so that it will over time deliver other oil than the russian oil and be able to deliver that to hungary. hungary was the main opponent against the essential package long blocking a potential deal because it is so highly dependent on russian oil imports being supplied by pipeline. the head of the commission, ursula of underlying, has pledged to cut 90 percent of oil imports from russia to the block. by the end of this year, the russian senior official has said moscow can find other buyers for its oil and pointed out that longer land has been contradicting herself. as she recently said, that a ban on russian oil supplies would actually help moscow because it would drive up the price if we would completely cut immediately. as of today, off the oil,

he might be able to take the oil that he does not hell to the european union to the world's market, where the prices will increase and sell it for more. the sanctions are also to include cutting off rushes, largest bank spear bank from international payment system. swift, as well as banning several russian broadcasters from providing their content to your viewers. some russian individuals that the e u has said were liable for alleged war crimes in ukraine are also to be sanction independent. political analyst, allison are bruno believes the sanctions will actually bite back against the block solution that they've tentatively reached just a few hours ago. that is to block all c lane. shipment is also going to affect a number of e u. countries who have interest in shipping that oil, those definitely fractures at various points. and i don't and them,

which contrib, combined with the physical need for pipeline oil. to create a situation of a tense situation within the you itself. in other words, these sanctions that the use is conjuring up are only going to hurt the you in the end. this is truly shooting on the wrong feet. for lack of a better metaphor. nato's deputy secretary general has said that the lions could no longer adhere to commitments against stationing forces in eastern europe. they took decisions. they made obligations there not to be aggressive with neighbors which they are doing. and to have regular consultations with nato, which they are not doing. so i think that in fact is found, the act is basically not functioning because of russia. now we have no restrictions to have robust posture in the eastern flank and to ensure that every square inch of

nato's territory is protected by article 5 and our allies. russia has long considered nato expansion that direct threat to its national security despite a promise by the west decades ago that the military alliance would not expand one inch eastward 14 countries have joined nato since the dissolution of the soviet union in the early 990 s, a former italian general has urged the you to not further provoke russia over the ukraine conflict, and instead seek an improvement in relations with moscow. if we are to succeed in negotiating an agreement with russia on ukraine's war, we must avoid provocations and unnecessary things, such as nato enlargement, which risks further destabilizing the region. instead of strengthening security, nato has its share of responsibility for the war between russia and ukraine. you heard from former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who thinks that nato not russia is incomplete, disregard for fundamental agreements to preserve stability in europe by not

expanding eastward. deputy director general is forgotten that it was a continuous eastern expansion up to the borders of russia. that helped create the conditions for the current conflict. it was nato that has been operating in total disregard of the of the founding act. i'm not russia. secretary general has forgotten statements made by both his boss sector, general johnstone bird, and other ministers of defense and secretaries of defense of nato, which appeared to current conflict between ukraine in russia as an opportunity for nato to inflict a strategic defeat on russia. the deputy secretary general's look in the mirror and throwing accusations at russia, which are solely derived from nato's own actions. european economy is going through somewhat of a shock right now, and it doesn't look like that. sharks can in any time soon. all nato has is

basically some fancy charts and arrows and lines and words. they don't have reality . reality is when they actually build up these forces and then deploy them into bases the cost, money forces, cost money, the equipment cost money, the basis cost money. who's going to pay for this? they know the ukranian military is notorious as a battalion has attempted to distance itself from its neo nazi will. single album. and the western media claimed that the symbol was exploited by russia to justify its military operation in new unit. as of hanukkah has changed their patches to a more traditional trident symbol used by the ukrainian state. at the unveiling of a new special forces unit in carcass patches handed to soldiers did not feature the wolf's angel. a medieval german symbol that was adopted by the nazis in which has been used by the battalion since 2014. instead, they featured

a golden tried in the ukrainian national symbol worn by other regiments. yet recent photos of the new as of hock of commanders show that they have continued to wear patches with nasty symbols on their uniforms. here we can see the so called totin called for death head emblem used by hitler's s. s forces. and since adopted by neo nazi and white supremacist groups to sort of mon, coastal of the comments now on what is behind this attempt to repaint the as all battalions image in the eyes of the west. reincarnation of that, sorry is battalion has already been announced in the ukrainian city of hud. gov. we are forming new units based on the legendary is av battalions, principles in ideologies. every day there are more soldiers and they become more professional to day. i have the honor to present promotions to soldiers of the new unit as of carcass, which is ready to take revenge for fallen ukrainian cities. so the same principles and ideological foundations,

the same principles for which the battalion was accused of committing a war crimes rate, torture and looting. according to a 2016 united nations report was or just one of the yet, well not blue . with

i was arrested by the as often as b. u men. the batman, the head and legs for the chain fired the gun close to my ear, threatened to shoot me the hat or to should my feet. they humiliated me and said they were going to write me. they threatened to bring my wife and daughters in and told to them in front of me. i could not eat for 3 days. the office of the united nations high commissioner for human rights, documented extensive use of civilian buildings and locations by the ukrainian military and the resolve regiment and looting of civilian property was one of those many battalions will need heal. they are what they are. you might think that says something could have changed since then, until you look at some of the recent images of as old members, when they surrendered in mario pl. one glance at their tattoos makes the neo nazi

indication of these soldiers clear as they even the united states, a country which is now plumping ukraine with money and weapons. as previously stated that the us off battalion poses a threat to americans themselves, dissolved battalion as a well known ultra nationalist militia organization in ukraine that openly welcomes neo nazis into its ranks. the group is so well known, in fact, that the 115th congress of the united states stated in its 2018 omnibus spending bill that none of the funds made available by this act may be used to provide arms, training, or other assistance to dissolve. battalion the u. n. has chronicled human rights abuses and incidents of torture in this groups relatively short history. despite these facts, as off, has been recruiting radical, isaac, and training american citizens for years, according to the f b i. but so let's take a closer look at as of battalion commanders, sir, gave elliptical and constantine negative. political has been fighting in the boss

since 2014 and just a few months earlier, he was an active member of the force, is that the least an armed qu in capital key. if he was also the leader of a far right group that was allegedly involved in the tragedy at the house of trade unions in odessa, where dozens of auntie, my jan activists were burned alive in 2021 village girl was sent to prison in ukraine for record fearing, extortion and kidnapping his so called brother in arms. konstantin, image of law, before village goes speed to release from jail, and he was set free. as soon as russia special military operation began white, apparently simply because he hates russians, all of the released prisoners or ardent opponents of the russian world concept and have certain combat experience. all risks and control mechanisms are assessed individually for each of them. according to russia's investigative committee,

the lisco and amateur, along with other members of the us, of battalion committed war crimes. when they beat up and shot a russian military prisoners in the legs, political himself doesn't even deny this atrocity. there were cases when soldiers of our unit shot russian military prisoners in the legs, they had surrendered, their hands were tied and our soldiers shot them. i don't think that was right. so what to expect from this uniformed assault article nationalism battalion, we already know from its liter that it was created with the same ideological foundation as its predecessor leaving observers guessing how many more war crimes could be committed under the neo not to symbols of, of the forces as the u. s. and its allies put more money into ukraine cubes. national bank says it has already received more than 5 and

a half $1000000000.00 in foreign aid. washington and brussels have so far failed to explain how we can excuse me, how exactly they're going to follow the money. despite the overnight concerns in the us, recently approved a massive $40000000000.00 of military anti military assistance for your brain, bringing its total to $53000000000.00 since the start of the war 3 months ago. it is one of washington's biggest $4.00 and $8.00 expenditures in recent history. you, for as part, has already spent $1500000000.00 euros military supplies and recently allocated another $500000000.00 euros for additional provisions. but the other day that use police force issued a stern warning that weapons the block has been supplying to kill, may end up in the hands of criminals and lead to further instability in europe. meanwhile, the washington post has published an article about a foreign volunteer who's recently returned from ukraine, saying that his military unit was provided with american weapons that didn't

actually work dakota cohort. the foreign volunteers was attached to ukrainian military units and brought by yellow school bus to keith from which they were sent north west into them, but old town outside the capital. it was early march. they were issued, entertained weapons, and devil in this house, but no better is for the larger unit. non functional or not. the flow of american weapons to ukraine has already raked in some hefty profits for the u. s. military industrial complex. with the net worth of raphael and technology is rising by almost $15000000000.00 since the start of the year, while lockheed martin has soared by more than $25000000000.00 during the same period. we got a reaction from independent investigative journalist, vanessa bailey, who questioned where the better quality weapons provided by the west will eventually end up the capable of the ukrainian forces is not that which they would like you to believe these mercenaries are claiming that the

weapons they were given, were faulty, we're not working, then you have to ask where the better quality weapons have ended up. i'd say ended up in the hands of only or the, the as of, and also nationalist brigades. or have they effectively gone through ukraine into other countries, into the hands of the us. proxies. number of people in the west are starting to question an investment into a war that really they call when there is no way to us or do you cry or any country, any nitro members, they can give assurances. but these are huge. financial packages are going to be followed through that full accountability is going to be provided to the public for those countries that are effectively providing this money. as more than 6000000 people have fled ukraine,

since the conflict erupt into some hosting countries have been struggling to cope with the influx of refugees or to show to been ski reports. they were welcomed with open arms by several e. u nations, millions of ukrainian refugees flowed into the block to be hosted by their neighbors. but as the war drags on are they overstaying their welcome in the austrian capital locals have been shocked by an incident, allegedly involving several ukrainian men. asher. this video shows the men who were driving cars with ukrainian number plates kicking and punching a taxi driver and others. one man was seen been left on the ground that bruce allegedly broke out over how the cars had been parked. an investigation is underway,

but the leader of one austrian political party has already said the ukrainians should be kicked out instead of fighting for their country. ukrainian men are beaten up. taxi drivers in front of luxury hotels in vienna get out of our country . poland has taken in the lion's share of ukrainian refugee some 3500000 have set up camp there. however, social media videos have revealed that some polls a clearly fed up with their guests rhetoric very difficult in the doing hoodies. we're actually rich on grotto music bonanza. you look like you've submitted a bid. i will give you a little designer. this is only on youtube. i don't do anything as little letter. can you move you jam on the result of jason? for jimmy across germany, the deemed special treatment the ukrainians have been receiving has also become too much for some blood for credit i. and for the governments, the reality of the huge responsibility that they have taken on is gradually

becoming clear, more sole, which rolled out the red carpet given ukrainians, the right to live, work and collect social security benefits is now having to issue an emergency debt to deal with crisis, it's also not having to cut back on some freebies, including free travel for ukraine in adults. the czech republic is urging ukrainians to seek out work or be at risk of losing benefits while bulgaria is generous offer of putting ukrainians up in tourists. hot spots has also been withdrawn. ukrainians as said to have complained about being moved and also about the new accommodation facilities. you countries are also asking brussels for more financial help. lithuania wants to know where the money is. in lithuania ukrainians, and are about 2 percent of the population in estonia is about 2.5 percent and in poland about from 6 to 7 percent. so the numbers for support in them are quite big

. we're asking for some additional funds which would be helpful in this situation. i do not ask for flexibility. i asked for additional funding and mosque. and if i could maybe think about the instrument there was previously used in migration crisis and migrants for coming from tech. it's a grease and your opinion in countries decided to put up additional funds and give them money to support migrants. and it seems you members aren't alone in their struggle as in the u. k. to the burden of hosting ukrainians, coupled with the spiraling cost of food and energy, is hitting hard. some post family see that they are now having to seek out assistance from food banks just to survive. there is still a huge amount of support in the e. u. for those from ukraine, but as countries faced their own struggles, perhaps the welcome is drying up. former european parliament member godfrey bloom says that the open door immigration policies have caused problems for countries

that initially had good intentions. a conversation between locals and refugees are getting worse in the west for a number of reasons. first of all, we have been swamped by a number of bogus refugees who are economic immigrants. so welfare benefits, some freebies and free handouts. government handouts are extremely generous, and of course in the welfare society, immigrants coming in means there's less of the case to go around for locals, and they're being specific problems. for example, in sweden, with an almost a condo immigration policy that have been sorry to say, very serious crime problems involved with that there is only a certain amount of hospitality that you can give to refugees. its limited resources are finite. i'm, when governments throw the doors open,

you get you get problems with the locals. and when people are realizing the cost of this in all sorts of different ways, i think the resentment will grow. not necessarily against ukraine. refugees, but their own government maneuver them into this crazy position. new ends. the human rights chief has called for deeper cooperation with china. falling a 6 day visit to the country. michelle boshoway urged beijing to address the concerns of the weaker community and other minorities in the country while also calling for, for the collaboration and interaction between the well and china. given the many intersecting global crises facing the world today, including climate change threats to peace and security and instability in the global economic system, as well as the impact of the coven. 19 pandemic. china has a very important role to play as a key contributor in multilateral and regional for we agreed to establish regular engagement between the you and human rights office and the government of china. including through an annual senior strategic meeting for discussion of issues of

respective interest at national regional or global levels. however, the officials called for cooperation with china has been slammed in the western media where some are even questioning the very credibility of the un human rights office. the director of human rights watch in china is among the critics for her to fail to explicitly criticize the chinese government. given the abundance of evidence of some of those serious human rights crime was under international law, was an enormous failure. and, you know, really damages her and be offices credibility and frankly enables the chinese government to continue thinking it can commit great human rights crimes and get away with the director of the piece and future research foundation says the un officials, rhetoric on china has fallen under criticism for failing to support western stamps . this is part of it,

a cold war agenda against and therefore she does it differently. he does it as a professional un office. and that is, of course, worrying for them as it shows that you can have dialogue with china. the criticism is that her way of doing things diplomatically and she succeeding in creating dialogue that will be future meetings. he has managed to also say some positive things. we should do about what china i've also done for human rights such as, you know, lifting, i don't know, 700000000 people. they of course, have not been that who are confrontation on that it should be more like a baby size which is a did at the end. of course, they feel like eating something that they have not achieve or she is doing the right thing in terms of psychology, cultural writ, written dialog, dialog is not the purpose of the policy is of each party sounds

prime minister has claimed that he is ready to so quote the clothes off his back to buy food for people in need of the south asian country struggles with surging prices for wheat flour. i repeat my words, i will sell my clothes and give people the cheapest week flower. i solemnly declare to you that i would give my life to put this country on the past to prosperity and development. violent protests rocks pakistan last week, and a support for the recently ousted prime minister emer on con. the unrest has only intensified following the government's decision to increase fuel prices and a bid to unlock funding from the international monetary fund. khan and his supporters wants new elections after the national parliament appointed his successor. without a popular vote con says the us orchestrated a coup against him. acclaim washington has denied shahida. these are of author and dean at the institute of business management and pakistan thinks that the new prime

minister is trying to show that he is concerned about the welfare of the people. i think the prime minister thing to the galleries are, he's trying to show that he feels very strongly about the people's welfare and that, you know, he's the one who has in please the prices of their choice. and now he's trying to give the people that he has very, very concerned about their rhetoric. and he's prepared to part with his personal belongings. just to make that i what i can get a lot of nonsense. i don't feel right that i miss insist on increasing the prices which have that you meant to work in fact onto the common people at the i just think that he has to increase the price of the fit, but then i don't think lead necessarily have to go to the i'm if, because you see that are much better than it is available. it is not going to fit in by the you wish and you gave it to me. event is the government of pakistan. the

point of i'm in his desk and or we'll finance minister especially the economic of on it can all make managers. i've heard the chief of on the stop and all of the important state bank for dominance, gave bank of pakistan. they'd all appointed washington. i think that we need a break and we need to bring in people who are very honest and who are very deeply optic and who would like to develop a relationship with the same situation and with the people's republic of china. that does it for me. this hour in about 31 and a half minutes, i'll be back with more news. see with this, this is g internet. ah ah.

ah ah. with

situation forces can overwhelm, can dominate even the best of us. ordinary people put in a bad evil environment can become transformed to become part of that negative environment. and it's any of us or in fact most of us the office of naval intelligence, it was pretty consistent cut out front for c i. they funded much of this research and i don't know if there was a yield that they, they produce a yield for this cruel science. i don't that's, it's maybe more, i just don't think they do it might play out spectacularly in the military. so the connections would be much further down the road.
