with broadcasting lot of direct, more studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, a chemical storage tank has reportedly exploded any western part of the conflict, written lugens republic. these images purportedly show the blast of v as a chemical plant in the city of several done. yet. local officials have blamed ukrainian forces saying that the storage tank appears to have been detonated. ukrainian army is said to have been can control of the industrial area at the time of the incident with sheet. meanwhile, in the neighboring danielle republic, the residential area was shelled several times by ukrainian forces on tuesday, with several casualties reported by local authorities. and we need to warn you that

the following images may be disturbing for you. among the victims was a woman, a 46 year old mind worker who was killed while she slept at her home. her son was also wounded in the attack, but managed to survive. we visited the site of the tragedy and found the victim sister in a desperate state. yet. mm oh. his dad should be sallow because what i believe on this thing is both analog. lovely to bit. yeah. news my go to lead ukraine. an artillery killed a 46 year old woman who lives in this house. apparently she was sleeping after and night shift at work. she worked in a coal mine that says nearby rocket landed right in her house.

her bedroom is right over there. and a piece of the rocket hit her right in the neck. with me on this idea didn't legend me i'm her sister was also or can that's i am but so she heard the sounds of shilling and rushed back to her house. you will are not on voyager yet, woburn i shall, influential. garage,

mere wisdom. he madeleine, in the morning when you, when you but i'll yamil won't bug boy, well this was there. the modem is, is that dan is margot bozos appointed. so we will go good lady, she elmwood, i haven't done much any suited. so didn't anybody, did it on shocked miss benya gina? so dov; boiler wants to badness. kanisha bitterly. bone up my soon log school got out the bid. mom stood up. i believe her at least 6 people have been killed as the result of ukrainian shilling off residential areas here in done netscape that took place over sunday and monday. oh, we are right now at one of the addresses where one woman 63 year old woman was killed and said we've arrived so just in time as her neighbors and her loved ones.

so place her coffin, him this score her ready to take her to the cemetery. let's take a look now at what happened to her house. so basically the shelling took place here on sunday evening. take a look at what's inside. this must have been a really high caliber rocket. as of this house is now completely destroyed and the woman was buried under the rubble, her son and her husband were not here at the time. but as a vague told me, emergency services tried to dig her out. but unfortunately, she was already dead. this is the witness account of her neighbor get mutual and i show us there were some lat bangs around 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening. i couldn't hear the incoming shells, but i heard the impact one in the garden and one directly it into house. she was

home at the time. neighbors ran over and started removing the rubble to try to rescue her emergency workers came in duck her out. but she was already dead. she had been a really good person in the indian community in russia has set up a funds to help refugees and soldiers in the dumbass. the initiative titled deja after the hindi word for direction has been sending relief supplies to residents of the war torn region. now the foundation has done 2 shipments of medicine already of this month and says that those supplies are only the beginning the deliveries are taking to russia's border with the don bass republics and are then handed over to local administrations. we heard from the initiatives founder who says that he feels its duty to help the people of the don bass in solidarity with russia. this in doris and society. new shaw, this is their indoor russian family. so we are

a mix family. so that's what i'm doing my heart. don't any, any over the ask us a lot of issues. the lot of people nice this all of the think not only do pete and model do deal so will be there is no, nobody is going to say that there are some so we do our duty. same thing. what to for. and thirdly, so we are helping each other. so meanwhile, a video has emerged from the city of the valve near the polish border where ukrainian refugees arriving from the war torn eastern part of the country were denied humanitarian aid from the united nations, allegedly because they were speaking russian. the incident devolved into

a heated argument. you honey, you johnny, come when you are a you might you thought a numerous ukrainians and speak russian as a 1st language, especially in eastern areas where the conflict has been most pronounced in the done yet can, will gone. screw public russian is spoken by around 90 percent of the population. neither the un nor key of has commented about the footage from the walls,

labor and human rights. a lawyer done. villa has said that there is no justification for such actions. this is clearly a pretext that this person is using to deny russian speakers aid because he doesn't like russian speakers. very disturbing. and honestly, it kind of underscores how this conflict began and the peoples of the dom bass, most of whom speak russian. and what we've seen from the government in key is racism and discrimination against the russian speakers. and we see this in this video and it's illegal as the woman points out, this is un aide, but it appears to be ukranian who decided they're not going to give it to russian speaking. again,

there is no justification for that. obviously if people are hungry and need food, you give it to them that you know we can understand the need for food and water in any language. right. the price of brent oil has exceeded $125.00 per barrel. as the e u moves to impose a partial embargo on russian supplies of commodity, some states, particularly hungry, have opposed the measure due to their heavy dependence on imports of russian oil creation presidents around milan, of which has admitted that the current restrictive measures have not led to a substantial weakening of russia economy. well, now it does not seem a load, it's lunar, unfortunately, these sanctions don't work. possibly at some point they will. and the rubel didn't drop. russia doesn't feel any of these from the financial point of view. and what it does, the war will be over, the price will be paid by european citizens, while vladimir putin will smile, satisfaction it. my last year,

european countries accounted for almost half of russia's exports while china took in almost a 3rd. but since january this year, the export of both russian gas and oil to beijing has been reduced, a drop that has actually been beneficial to russia has the price of both, has significantly grown or teased on quarter comments now on how the western sanctions have bitten back against the use economy, you sanctions, round 6 is locked and loaded this time brussels is aiming for a near complete ban on russian oil. by the end of the year. to night, european commission agreed a 6 package of sanctions. it will allow a ban on oil imports from russia. the sanctions will immediately impact 75 percent of russian oil imports. and by the end of the year, 90 percent of the russian oil imported in europe will be banned. after seeing the damage wrought by the last 5 sanction packages on the very countries that deployed them in the 1st place,

many europeans aren't convinced anything's going to be different. this time. sanctions may have harmed russia's credit worthiness, but the 70 percent surgeon, world gas prices alone has supercharged its balance of payments. its current account trade surplus according to its central bank, is now over 3 times the pre invasion level. at the same time, sanctions are clearly hurting countries in western and central europe who are imposing them. banning bore russian oil is only likely to push already, skyrocketing energy prices even higher and it won't just affect the u. v. use decision to ban the majority of russian oil imports will cause the barrel price to go higher, still spelling yet more misery for fuel prices in the u. k. the same goes for germany. rising prices and economic uncertainty are causing serious problems for a large proportion of the population. more than one in 3 fears, they will no longer have enough money to cover their living expenses. here we have an especially severe case. the german economy has been ravaged by record breaking inflation,

standing at 8.7 percent for may. that's the highest. it's been since the 1970s to make matters worse. the more ominous threats of a global food crisis is also a menace to the entire world. sanctions, no, no subtlety, millions of innocent people across europe and far from its shores will suffer as food and energy prices. sor supply lines, are disrupted, trade links, collapse. the victims are overwhelmingly the poor with all this bad news that's followed. europe's anti russia sanctions. one has to wonder if the politicians who passed this latest package had been living under a rock. how bad do things have to get for them to get out from under it? you leaders have tentatively agreed to cut off rushes, the largest bank from the international transaction network. swift. the move intended to disconnect, spar bank from the global financial system is part of a 6th round of sanctions to pressure russia to end the conflict in ukraine. but the

bank says it was already prepared and the new measure will not have a significant effect. disconnecting from swift does not change the current situation and international settlements. domestic transactions do not depend on swift and will be carried out by the bank and the standard mout spare bank previously shifted to a russian based system as an alternative to swift, most banks in the country and have been already switched over to that network. according to the national central bank, russian authorities say that the country's financial system has been prepared for the shut off and has already withstood the initial shock of western sanctions. meanwhile, mastercard, c. e o has said swift may even cease to exist in the next 5 years. and also the south asian country of bangladesh is considering adopting new payment methods to save money. investor mich fire stein believes that the world has changed too much

for swift to remain the predominant platform for international transactions. i've never seen in my career which has been long and extensive in finance. i've never seen sanctions that were successful. and i think that these were well telegraphed in advance. so i think it's more of a public relations gimmick to have these and an actual impact. and it's going to have, i think the world has changed pretty drastically without looking at a situation that was in the 1960 seventy's eighty's or ninety's the. this is a new new era and, you know, encrypt oh, came around. you see that people are able to transfer things fairly quickly and a lot more efficiently and cheaply. and i think that that is a big part of the system. i think, i think that alternative payment systems have been set up in russia is not isolated by itself in a bubble. when people don't realize it, there are several countries that are using a different way to transact in the u. s. dollar. the gemini might have seen, might be, be over in about 5 years because india, china, iran,

brazil, e and saudi arabia, a couple other middle eastern countries and asian kind countries are in for using different types of alternative payment systems that are transacting oil and historical presidential election in colombia as for the 1st time in decades to left when candidates are proceeding to run off later in june, gustavo petro, a former gorilla, and one time the mayor of columbia, the capital one, the largest share of the vote, with 40 percent. his rival, rodolfo hernandez, who is campaign, was largely carried out on the social network. tick tock received 20 percent of the vote. both candidates fell short of the 50 percent threshold to win the election outright. petro has vowed to transform the countries economics system and the set relations with the u. s. including changes to the approach to the drug war and a reexamination of the bilateral trade agreement. hernandez has built his campaign on

a promise of fighting corruption and criticizing the country's political establishment . he also considers it necessary to revive relations with neighboring socialists. country venezuela. you heard from independent journalist fiorella, isabel, who says that colombians have been long trying to get rid of their current government. the. com, if people are sick and tired of having this bloodshed, and they have reiterated that the fight against for any sort of ideology. you know, it's not a fight against capitalism that they've reiterated. this is a fight to at least have the existence of a genuine republic and be able to have a democracy, which is why any candidate that is not the current establishment is a shift for them. colombia is actually largely for country, it's a christian country is a country that has been perpetuated. this hole in the liberal, colonial stay of the united states. a lot of colombians around the country and some

in bogota. i've been fighting to get rid of this government. no matter if they've had to make alliances with people, they don't agree with. there's the situation right now or at least both of these candidates have said that they would like to rehabilitate relationships with venezuela in some way in form of economics. but petro has decided that he wants to increase the g d p by 5.5 percent in order to actually provide for some social programs. so there's a start difference between the businessman, the rich die that many say all he's a business. and so he's gonna run the country like a business, very similar to this, right? and of course this type of petra is more of a social democrat. ukrainian forces are said to have used american weaponry to electrically show civilian areas including schools in the done yes. republic, this is according to local officials and 5 people including a 13 year old girl, were killed, and 16 people were wounded in showing of residential areas with preschools heavily

damaged on sunday and monday done yet, officials say american m 777. how's? how answers were used in the strikes. meanwhile, an advisor to ukraine's president zalinski has pushed back against washington's refusal to provide ukraine with rocket systems that could be used to hit russian territory. u. s. president biden has emphasized that such systems will not be supplied to q a right. we discussed the issue with jim chambers and american journalist who was witnessed, alleged ukrainian attacks against a civilian areas in daniel. he believes that the main purpose of the u. s. arms supplies to give is to create chaos in the region. the ukrainian army and the west are beginning to recognize that they cannot win what they're calling a war. and they're being more desperate in their tactics and just trying to terrorize people. typical with what the,

the u. s. strategy has been internationally really going back to syria where they're not interested in traditional war. they're interested in destabilization and terrorism. and of course, we see that by refuse to allow us to send weapons that would reach as far as russia, but he has spent weapons that will reach much farther into civilian territory and done about so i think again the u. s. his goal is to is to create instability and just create as much chaos as they can. ma, germany's plans to raise military spending with the governing coalition and the main opposition party having reached a deal for the increase, a senior parliament member says the countries army needs to an image of an enemy to prepare to fight and russia fits that bill. the bonus fit germany military is prepared, mentally, politicians who are not prepared and the military set out by politicians. it does

what the politicians want. we need an army that requires some sort of image of an enemy. we no longer perceived rush as an enemy in recent years, but now we know what an enemy looks like. the deal to allocate over 100000000000 euros for defense was reached by the german parliament. germany defense spending is to reach 2 percent of its g. d p, a target, stipulated by nato. now the spending includes boosting, cyber defense and support for partner countries. however, german politician, academic and lawyer, going to back says that the ukraine conflict is used as an excuse for germany to increase its defense spending and cast blame for worsening economic crisis is important to find that the recent decision to increase military spending is a departure from decades of previous policy, the official justification is of course, the kind of conflict in ukraine. the government you is

that this is a threat to native security as a result of which they have to increase military spending on the whole nature is spending about 15 times as much on the military as the russian federation or even more the government is also trying to avert attention from a worst and the economic crisis at home and the conflict in ukraine is a welcome excuse that they can blame. the former lawyer for hillary clinton has been found not guilty of lying to the f. b, i in 2016 about donald trump, the legend ties to russia before the verdict, former u. s. a general attorney bill bar. so the case which became known as russia gate represents a grave injustice to both the american people and former president trump. i think

whatever you think of trump, the fact is that the whole russia thing was a grave injustice. who was a dude appears to be a dirty political tractor, was used 1st to hobble them and then potentially to drive them from offers. it was a gross injustice. who was, it was and it, and it hurts united states in many ways, including what we're saying in ukraine these days. you know, it, it distorted our foreign policy and we have the not guilty verdict for michael sussman. ah, which indicates that the jury did not believe that what he said to the api i constituted illegal deception of the, at the i. but regardless of the trial, at this point is making headlines because of the bomb shell testimony that it appears that hillary clinton did indeed sign off on the spreading of unverified rumors linking donald trump to russia. and it was the hillary clinton campaign that originated those rumors. that found their way into the press. this is what we heard

. i discussed it with hillary as well. i don't remember the substance of the conversation, but notionally, the discussion was pe, we have this and we want to share it with a reporter. she agreed with the decision as a result of this bombshell testimony from the michael sussman trial, we have donald trump saying that he feels only partially vindicated by the fact that this is now in the public record that russia gate originated with hillary clinton. this is donald trump. this is one of the greatest political scandals in history for 3 years. i had to fight her off and fight those crooked people off and you'll never get your reputation fully back. where do i get my reputation back now? william bar, the former us attorney general, says that this not only affected the political career of donald trump and the trump residency, but it actually affected us foreign policy though there are global consequences to this decision made by the hillary clinton campaign that is now in public testimony given at the michael sussman trial,

microsoft may be acquitted. that bombshell testimony has huge implications. prob is that most americans still believe in russia gate after the election? oh, it's really easy just to accuse the russians of defeating hillary clinton rather than seeing how her campaign pretty much did her in, in any case. and it became easy to drum this, russia, russia, russia syndrome. so that most people still believe it. now when i say the media, i'm talking about the new york times, the washington post, the mainstream media, the t v outlets. unless we honest analysts can get some play in our media at the, the countries for doom to believe that to mr. poo gene is the devil in cornish

that the russians russians. russians are responsible for all manner of evil, including 4 years of donald trump. and we're up against a hard place because the dangers of escalation in ukraine are very real and very dangerous. we spoke with a former aid to you as president ronald reagan, paul craig roberts, who says russia gate was created to destabilize us russian relations, where the president, the fraud, the declare good. one of his goals was to normalize relations with russia. he issued a major threat to the power for profit on the motors through the complex which needs an enemy. so an ordinary person and told person won't see. and then all of this, the danger or a military or

a conflict between russia and the united states. so i think that's worth mill varsity and so he now realized this when he. busy made a terrible state when he was attorney general and did not act to saw the rush very close. he could have stopped the leaders lieutenant general. he could have ordered investigation and all the see any of the f, b i of the democratic party. but he did nothing that does for me, i'll be back in just under 33 minutes. another phone fessler tuesday with l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings,

except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at that point, obviously is to create trust, rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with obama protective phone existence with a name is franklin richardson, philadelphia got in the movement in any age, 13 or 14. we were violent towards those people because we believe that we're in this race. we're here 1st and this is our country being part of that movement. i got your sense of power. when i felt powerless, we got attention when i felt invisible and accepted when i felt a level life after hey,

is an organization that was founded by 4 all skin neo nazi white supremacist in the u. s. in canada. and they found each other and they knew that they wanted to help other guys get out was 2 parts to getting out of a violent extremist group. the 1st part is disengagement, which is where you leave the social group. and then the next part is d. radicalization work belief systems audiology are removed. it was very impactful. when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement, you heard my story did nothing to challenge with our ah,

ah hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle in less than 3 months. the west ukraine narrative has been turned on its head. ukraine is not winning, its steadily losing to west is not unified. in fact, divisions are widening. the russian economy is weathering, massive sanctions, western economies are in trouble. who will blink 1st cross sucking sanction regimes. i'm joined by my guest, matthew eric in montreal. he is a senior fellow at the american university of moscow and director of the rising tide foundation of canada in new york. we are richard wolf. he is professor emeritus of economics at the university, massachusetts, amorous, and author of the sickness is the system and an alber. and we cross a lew rockwell. he is the founder and chairman of the muses in city are a general and cross hog, well, rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want,
