back it will be more to the right or more to the are not totally clear about that. you politically. ah, a woman and a 5 year old girl have been killed in the city of makia africa. and the don units were public as a result of shelling from ukraine forces, according to officials from the republic. archie reports from the thing. this is the show that landed into the house and fragments how the show had killed a little 5 year old girl. neither id on russia gas prom, suspends gun supplies to the netherlands, also became the 4th european country to refuse to pay for deliveries in roubles,

branded the ear, the biggest sacrifice. the block announces a tentative deal to ban almost all russian oil employed, making a temporary exception for pipeline supplies. for western media is applauding. the ukraine military's notorious our battalion for attempting to whitewash its image by getting rid of ne symbols from its uniforms. recent photo show, some of those emblems are still being worn by. it's cheap a very well welcome. this is auntie international. with the latest world headlines, it's good to happy with us. and we start with the latest on the conflict in ukraine . a young girl and a woman have died off to a residential area with shell on tuesday in the city of makia in the don't, yes, were public a warning you might find the following for teach upsetting is picked to say the aftermath of the attack in which a man was also injured on yes, a full 30,

some blamed ukrainian forces while keith is yet to comment on the incident of correspondence among causal reports from the scene where he met the grandmother of that child. he. i sure. yeah, yeah, i read the consequences of what happened to the house after it was shown by the ukrainian army. this is the show that landed into the house and fragments how the shell had killed a little 5 year old girl. mira id on my head is quite heavy and it looks like it's from a multiple rocket launch system. we are in a residential area,

nothing but's civilians, civilian residence is around here. i can see behind me there is a coal mine that is working perhaps that was that sorry, of ukrainian military who are trying to destroy as much infrastructure as possible here in dunbar as there are suffering losses and are trying to retreat from the on coming g p r. army, along with the russian defense ministry, romano, author of archie. don't ask people's republic. ah, the netherlands has become the 4th country in europe to stop receiving russian natural gas bus after decided not to accept a request from moscow that it pay for deliveries in roubles. dutch company gas, tara said such payments could violate you sanctions on present to many financial and operational risks. rushes gas from has the previously suspended supplies to bulgaria. poland, finland,

moscow's new payment scheme requires bias from countries that have placed sanctions on russia to pay in ru, both the russian energy ministry has said that to doesn't you appear in countries of so far open to ruble accounts. meanwhile, the a here was expected to impose a partial embargo on russian oil imports within days of the union managed to reach a compromise. following weeks of talks, agreeing to ban all russian oil supplies, except those that enter the blocks my pipeline will be at temporarily. several eastern european countries opposed to complete bonds due to their heavy dependence on russian oil. some western media outlets are branded the move europe biggest sacrifice. the european union on monday agree to ban most in force of russian oil. the harshest economic penalty yet, and both in russia for isn't vision of ukraine and potentially the biggest sacrifice by europe itself. well, this is a political agreement. let's be clear on that. this doesn't mean that the sanctions package has been given. the green light is still have to go through some very

difficult at discussions over the technical, the legal issues of it. let's not forget that we have got to differentiating things going on here. so initially, the plan when earth lavonne de leon announced this round of sac should packages. at almost 30 days ago, she said that this would be an outright ban essentially on russian oil. that's not the case when we look at this package, how it's been politically agreed at the moment. there are going to be massive deviations. and the big deviation is the fact that hungry will be able to continue to get russian oil through a central pipeline that comes from russia into the country. we heard from victor alban, who had previously said he would not allow a ban on oil. he was the one at country standing out say, no, we're not going to do this because it would be like a nuclear bomb going off on our economy. and he seemed to have won his argument. he will continue to get all from russia. and that seems to be open ended. in fact, he said hungry has been exempt from these pack sanctioned packages. we also know that the chapel public will be able to continue receiving and re selling russian

oil products for further 18 months. so there's lots of things going on here that perhaps the european union wouldn't have wanted to have had, but it wanted to show a force of unity and this is perhaps the only way it's been able to do that. and interestingly enough, or we heard from us lavonne de leon, just in the last week who had actually suggested that may be an outright ban on russian oil would benefit rusher in the end, 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. no russia has, i. she said, yes sir. sullivan, de leon is on the money when she says that because russia will find other customers for its oil. it is also pointed out that some of her statements of late have been fairly contradictory when it comes to this span. well, you mentioned the address or we'll find another market, i mean, the 2 headed eagle, the emblem of russia, one facing west, one facing these. so there's always another market if you will. one thing that i

want to know is tit for tat. i nothing happens in a vacuum. there's going to be a response from russia. what response can we expect about this live from a sanctioned? well, it will be interesting to see how russia positions itself are. we know that a russia has previously said, look, the sanctions don't work. there are legal. our president, putin himself said this is akin to essentially a declaration of war by western nation. so they're not viewed very favorably from russia. and we also have had this suggestion from the russian foreign minister said gay lover of that. in fact, these packages of sanctions were pre planned in advance and that's why most of them will give them the green light. so quickly, these hysterical i would even say agonizing sanctions were initiated by the west, their scale and the speed at which they've been implemented shows these measures were not thought up over night. there were long prepared and are not likely to be removed. the u. s. has revealed to its allies and quiet that these sanctions will

remain even after the conflict ends. so this is not about ukraine. that country is being used as a tool of the west. this is about containing rushes development. because russia does not let the west rule a unipolar world as dictated by the u. s. with the obedience of europe, i don't know what europe could gain in the situation in terms of geo politics. every political analyst is saying that because of the situation, europe is losing out on future perspectives. now what's going to be really interesting is what happens in regards to the black sea ports. we know the present, pete in just a few days ago was talking to chancellors schultz and president macro leaders in and the you in saying look, if he ease up on sanctions, we will open up the black sea ports for the export of grain at expo to claim which many countries are saying that they desperately need at the moment. prices have been on the rise this month and are expected to be driven up further. also,

the partial embargo comes into effect from analysts say the new sanctions will also lead to even higher inflation in western countries. versus emvoy to international organizations in vienna say moscow will have no trouble finding alternative bias for soil. last year, europe in nations accounted for almost half of brushes, exports. however, most go has been pumping more oil countries like china and india, and recent weeks, joins now in the studio by hendrick. we buy norwegian, lighter political analysts downhill. a politician many thanks for coming in and join me in the studio. it's great to see me in the i'd love to know what your assessment of the current state of relations between russia and the west is how much was can things guess it's a difficult question. the situation is very worth and very tense situation, of course, can the navy and in no way is very aggressive for there is only you have to choice between the sides. are you standing on the russian side or on the side of

the democratic countries? so to say it's a really difficult situation and of course it is not good for anybody you know, for the economy, not for private people, not fully fixed, not for diplomat. diplomat takes, it's really a difficult situation then nobody knows how it goes out. it seems like western countries they want to isolate russia when the rest of the world. what is that actually happening? because recent poll suggests that it's only some less than countries that don't support good relations with moscow, but the world is so much bigger, isn't it? of course, but we in the western countries from the rest time countries, we think we are the world. and that is not true. so we have to wake up and find out that there are many, many other countries with supporting russia. we're trading with russia. and if we western countries give up all of this, we will have a problem in the future. and of course,

we don't should turn around ourselves. we shouldn't see in the world and see what's going on there. so your country, norway is obviously picked aside and it's been sending weapons to ukraine. what's your response to that? of course, or this mistake. it's really dangerous. it makes us to a part of this conflict, and we should not do it. i think nobody's for a war or something like that, but we should not send any weapons to this kind of conflict and understand that you were excluded from your political party for showing some support for russia. could you explain what exactly i'm excluded because of a facebook post where congress related the to republics donetta can look on scruples, republic, and for their recognition by russia, by russia, president putin. and that was a major point to why my part to start an exclusion case against me. i try to

explain the situation, but they didn't want or they didn't understand. so they kicked me out in the end. that's the situation. so if you try to come with another point of view, if you try to look to the other side to try to understand the other side russian side, or then you have a real problem at the moment when it comes to the don't pass. i mean, you have a greater understanding than most people because you've been quite a few times. haven't us. can you give us your impressions? i was there for the 1st time in 2018. i think. and i've been there several times. so i have seen the situation of what is going on there since 8 years already. and i tell people that of course, this is not a war or special military operational. what you want to call it started in february . there is a conflict in 8 years already and nobody has been interested in that. we have done nothing from the western countries to get an end of this or to support one on the

other side. we only standing on the ukrainian side on the ukrainian government side and don't see what's going on there in the bus. and many people have died there. shuttling was going on in a t s already. so this is not a new conflict. there is a civil war going on since 8 years. well, someone who knows that who's been that, who's seen this? it must be a point of frustration for you that it doesn't get any mention in the mainstream media and hasn't in 8 years. it is even if you show pictures and video films i've done there. and even if you have names of people of talking to living in don't ask l makia or whatever. it is almost impossible to come through with this information . it is, everything is black and white at the moment. you are against the ukraine or you for your crane. and there is no, i try,

there is no trying to understand the situation. what is behind there? what is a history? so it's frustrating. what do you think the suffering of the people that has been ignored and continues to be ignored? more stream media? why? that's a good question because it is not about the people who are living there. this is about the influence of other countries from the u. s. a from european countries we want to have influence on ukraine. and of course russia has to do something against it. and because everybody knows, if a crane would be a part of european union, then would be a member of nature to and then we would have nuclear weapons directly on the board . i was, russian, russia cannot accept it, and that we have to understand, we can, we can say to the wrong, the russian view, but has to at least understand it or what's the russian view. so i guess it was

after your facebook posts that you started being brandon, intuitive, cramming stooge, or a russian asset right? yes, her branded as a key person, the putins key person in no way that completely crazy. but the regret posting it i should do it. but, and that is, of course it's only rubbish and i'm not a key person. i'm not an russian agent or spy. i'm doing the sings are very openly what i'm doing. i'm on social media of my own website and publishing books. so i would be the stupidest spy in the world, if i would, if i, if could you train a hot bed of naziism? that's quite a strong accusation and what led you to make that extension? of course it and the situation the ukraine is very different to understand for somebody who is not involved to have not followed. the situation is since 2014. but

there are many people sitting in very important positions in your, in their ukrainian government or in the military system. who are, you can call them nuts is, and you can call them fascists. and of course, when we're talking about says, presidency landscape, then we say yeah, but he is a jewish a guy. so he cannot be a nazi. yes. ok maybe. but there are thousands of people in the government, thousands of people in the military system, thousands of people in, in other governmental systems who are connected close to naziism. and we see this interviews on an, on the, on the ukranian tv or, or what they say openly. so the yeah the norwegian, media not, not currently your, your best friends. they say that you've refused to acknowledge your support for brushes. military operation now thatcher's i ha, it's of course

a difficult question. i am i am against more. no, and of course i would to have, i would like to have another situation in ukraine. i would like that the russian government recognizes to republics and defend this republics and, and not go into the ukraine in territory. but on the other side, what is alternative? western countries have not done anything as last 8 years or 7 years to fulfill the means. agreements, so how long we should wait, or how long russia should wait. people in don bus and the internet scanned my friends, they're asking where various a support from russia. so it's a question, how long should we wait to do something? of course, also a big bone of contention. russia with its red lines the, the further expansion of nato was your assessment of nato's ongoing expansion on russia's board is despite his warnings for moscow. and now we're talking about if

sweden and finland want to be met and natal, madeline member, and it's completely wrong. i think finland has always had good relations and also sometimes best relations. but i think last years they have very good to be a neutral part between these 2 blocks. so of course nature expansion, but they started in and $9797.00. yeah. so where it is gone very far and it should be ended. so nathan normally normally should close down because it's not need it. well, like you say there's no space to neutrality anymore. is that or if you are either on this side or you're on that side and if you don't pick a sides, then you're on the wrong side. so do you think that says when felons will get there? and then they told him that i expected. yeah. unfortunately,

the so they will the, i think that will be a member of nato in the. yeah. so russia been hit by truckloads of sanctions and the past few months? what's your assessment of the western sanctions against russia, or are they working on those western countries? actually bearing the brunt, i think it will be very and very badly for western countries and for europe specially. and i think we are not aware about what we need for kind of resources from russia for our economies and for food supplies and everything. so it will be very bad for your pin countries and, but people don't, are not aware about it because our media on telling this and we say it is completely easy. we can shut down all the power plants and when we are living from, from boss. so we have not enough energy, for example, food supply is in danger. and all these kind of things, batteries,

we need resources for, for producing batteries from russia. so where should we get this from? but people are brainwashed almost by, by western media. and so we have this latest back to the sanctions against russian oil imports. will know the negative effects. this is going to have, but could there be any positive effects? i don't think so. to be honest at the moment, we have no other choice. we have to have cheap oil and gas for our economies. and europe no way is in a good position. we have our own oil and gas, but it's not enough for whole europe. so we are dependent on russian export on russian resources, which is before we wrap up, i'd like to know what your personal plans in covering the conflict as it continues . hopefully not much longer than my personal pence. it's of course, a little bit difficult to travel right now because of the western sanctions against

russia, but tomorrow i will travel to premier to see the situations there, holloway, the military operation affects living on crimea. i don't think that is bad. there is a situation that is still good to try me, i think. but i will trouble there for some days to have a look. and otherwise i have now published a book in german language 1st about the people's republic, and we'll see what, what happened, and what, which media find out about me as the russians fly, all is wearing risk. of course it continues to cover the conflicts, but i, i heard you were saying you receive death threats. you see you received so many that it's that it's right now i've got this before as a support of crimea for example. but now since february, the situation is really aggressive, a very emotional and to people sending email said to i should die with cancer or

whatever. it is completely crazy. yeah. we really appreciate your coming in today's been great speak to you at hendrick. we've, i know we can write a political analyst on form. a politician may, thanks, thanks for him to the ukrainian military's notorious, as our battalion has attempted to distance itself from its neo nazi will single emblem with western media claiming the symbol has been exploited by russia to justify its military operation. a new unit as of holocaust has changed its patches to the more traditional trident symbol used by the ukrainian states. that the unveiling of a new special forces unit in carcass patches handed to soldiers did not feature the wharfs 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 trident, the ukrainian national symbol, worn by other regiments. he had recent photos of the new as of cock of commanders

that showed they have continued to wear nazi symbols on their uniforms. here we can see the so called total cost for death head emblem used my headless as forces and since adopted by neo nazi in white supremacists groups has a brief background to the battalion which might explain why us of is trying so hard to we paint is image in the eyes of the west. ah, of course, or just a i

was arrested by the as often as the human. the bet me on the head and legs with a chain far as a gun close to my ear, threatened to shoot me the head or to shoot my feet. they humiliated me and said they were going to write to me. they threatened to bring my wife and daughters in and talk to them in front of me. i could not eat for 3 days. i was one of those manny battalions. did the key of will need yield? they are what they are. my thanks for joining us here. in our see, international will be back, it is help us out with the latest. ah,

i mean so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you

force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating, but nobody's lane finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was station and mosul among them were stress, possession, sleep deprivation, inducing hypothermia. there's already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrant and children, whatever you do or more comes home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past and the moral authority, the made america will sacrifice for the shimmer of effective interrogation. ah,

not another way. while div easy while furnace us. ah. yeah. we're here, it's a one slide yet. if south, yeah, thrashing a south with the new dock. awesome boys. now watch them up all mutable. upright beat them. is emily up the little video? from sure. let me just kim's room she thought piteously. the watch, the ela. a bill and go. yes, my lord or jane invalid again. do you or somebody else? maybe a lot about with

a with me. hello and welcome to the party. the tragedy of the war in the ukraine is still visceral, and so dramatic that it me easily conceal other group or persons. and i've been victims of the russian western class, which has already adversely affected many countries, especially in the global south toes. the seemingly far away regional conflict being from the largest and one of the most ethnically diverse countries in south america

. well, to discuss that i'm now in joined by june and forth professor of economics at the university of south follow in brazil. professor schwartz is great to see you a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having me in your show. and i hope who will go smoothly through the conversation. despite all the bleachers that may come up during, you know, why fi connection that i'm using right now. there is indeed a huge distance between the 2 of us urines and paul. i'm in moscow, but i'm sure people are in your half of the woods are also watching and following this sounds like because it has already affected much of the globe is not directly down to perhaps, indirectly. how much interest do you see from your countrymen to what's happening? you know, was a part of them. you well, brazil is really a big territory. as you mentioned, we have a diversity of ethnic groups and had sent 3rd,

3rd grade sooner to the russian history. we are ears to a colonial tradition. so we had cycles of for different dominant bowers, overruling the brazilian. what now is the brazilian territory? but the fact is that the shoe size of the country implies that that maintaining the order, maintaining peace or keeping even keeping the territory as an interior part. and one government has always been the main challenge. anyone governing brazil. so in this we are kind of look out of an inorganic country. we, we, we don't have it for edition, especially among the press, even among the breath. we don't have a tradition of actually engaging with international issues, but of course one key element in the present situation is the impact of her import . the fertilizer senses into.
