[000:00:00;00] with, with ukraine fires, it's human rights commissioner, in part 1st spreading unverified information about alleged russian war crimes for statements being widely picked up by western media. also ahead on the program, the u. s. ledges to send advanced long range rocket systems to ukraine with promises from key about it won't use them to fire at russia. this slide, washington admitting it doesn't know where all it's weapons are ending up. on china slums. the us for it's quote, deep rooted head gemini mindset america, once again, the cries,

beijing's growing influence in the pacific. so a thursday, june, the 2nd 4 pm here in the russian capital, i mean an illegal, and this is the global news updates on r t ukraine. has fired its human rights commissioner in part for spreading on verified information by the atrocity she a legit we're committed by russian troops in the country. her removal comes after her claims were widely covered in the western media. are senior correspondent broadcasting of picks up the story day. a nice week saw then months after month the world over was barraged with stories horrific stories of rape and unspeakable acts committed, allegedly by russian forces in ukraine in such acts of violence, raping children little girls, 11 years old,

repeatedly in front of their mother's or repeat bathing their mothers and friends the children with each day more and more credible reports of re killing st torture are merging. if you so ensure you hundreds of cases of rape have been recorded, including under age girls, very young children and even a baby. it's just a scary to talk about it, but it's true, it happened. women and girls right now are facing the worst kind of fear and violence. and we know already come from the analyses that have been done. they've been the victims of not just murder and rape like kidnapping. many of these stories grew to be unbelievable. and that sort of figure of speech. people including ukrainian officials and the government stopped taking them seriously. they became an embarrassment. so ludicrous were some of the oh go. the woman behind these stories demila denise of a, who was ironically,

ukraine's human rights commissioner was fired a year before her term was officially up the unclear focus of the on buds men's media work on the numerous details of sexual crimes committed in an unnatural way. and rape of children in the occupied territories that could not be confirmed by evidence, only harmed ukraine. her stories became so ridiculous that even members of the ukrainian media, which, which itself isn't war propaganda mode intervened. 89 journalists together with 51 lawyers of human rights activists, and others penned an open let cooling on her to dial it down. that the graphic stories published by ha about months old douglas being raped with a variety of objects to roil up the people that this wasn't productive or, you know, decent sexual crimes during the war or a tragedy of families. a difficult and traumatic topic, not

a topic for publications. in the spirit of the scandalous chronicle. we are forced to trust the official information that comes from officials. a state of martial law a priori. we do not have the opportunity to verify it from other sources. in this way, we are spreading messages from the commissioner for human rights, in fact, taking them on faith as centrally. they asked that the stick to things that actually happened though. one of these stories can be tracked baxa, denisa and her team. more specifically, the social media posts made by them, and that's where all the trailed stop, almost all of her rape claims, se ukrainian journalists are without evidence or witnesses. despite her own less than honest approach, denito has been a vocal proponent for an international criminal tribunal to apparently bring russian troops to justice for things that she had lie. the bath. i think we should

look at yugoslavia and rolanda. these are the examples that we all know about. there is the un international court of justice and the international criminal court . we need to push for the creation of a special tribunal. naturally, the niece of a has been blind to verify reports and footage of ukrainian troops murdering, torturing and mutilating russian prisoners of war, and even ukrainian civilians deemed to be pro russia and ill get the human rights apparently. but these telling isn't it, when you own politicians who are bent themselves on making the russians seem as terrible as possible that they fly for being simply too outrageous. well, conservative talk radio host, steve gill, believes media outlets in the west are slowly beginning to question more than normative coming from give you know, the allegations that this lady was putting out there were horrific was even more horrific as if they were just outright wise. and intended to create

a propaganda scheme that would drive people up and, and create an anti russia mentality around the world. again, based on lies, there are plenty of reasons to question the invasion to question what ukrainians have done in the war as well. but there's been so much propaganda that, you know, getting the truth out has been almost impossible. but i do think you're starting to see some recalculation in the u. s. media, at least among some to, to be a bit more skeptical of the stories in the propaganda. it's been pushed out. and again, this is, in this case just been repeated without any verification or any basis of truth. we saw that with the supposed ukrainian soldiers who had had mocked a russian warship and they were supposedly all wiped out. turned out not to be true . you saw with the ghost pilot ukrainian fighter pilot shot down what a dozen russian fighter jets turned out not to be true. and yet the u. s. media and other world meet you just repeated those things, ad nauseam. hopefully we're starting to see the truth start to eat out of bed and,

and perhaps maybe he'll not only the reputations of those countries involved. but also the journalists to been either due to or been complicit can move that program on to powerful explosions of rock. they as of c, port city of bertie video emerged on line, showing a large column of smoke rising into the sky. local authorities claim the bless where the result of mine clearance works conducted in the area after the ukrainian army retreated. berty ounce is not fully under the control of russian forces. while in western ukraine, this footage purports to show a strike on the city of la evolve. where according to kiev officials are real. where tunnel that runs through the car. patsy and mountains reportedly used to deliver western weapons on supplies to ukraine was targeted by russian rockets. local officials say 5 people were winded,

the russian defense ministry hasn't yet commented on the allegation. well, with the flow of western weapon reach, you can find only seemingly gathering pace. germany has become the latest country to promise another batch of military aid for a wherever the spice devours. the nation's defense minister has said it doesn't actually have the weapons in stock. that is a question that is ultimately directed at industry because we don't have these systems in use here. that is not a question that i can answer for the german ministry of defense on because we don't have the systems in our inventory. well, that comes after german chester all of shows, pledge to send to ukraine, short range, or 2, or a missile systems known as iris chief, which can also be used on the broad based or defense unit. send it comment in the

coming weeks. we will also deliver more weapons. for example, the government has decided that we will send the iris t system in the most modern system that germany currently possesses affairs, if we are thus enabling ukraine to protect an entire major city from russian airstrikes new log. and that is also a decision of this government and it, it really is surprising that he would make that statement without checking with his sir defense experts. you know, i don't, i don't understand it other than he's responding again to pressure from that he's receiving politically. and he wants this to go away, think it pretty serious pressure. i recall over a month ago, the, by the know prescott entrance with the german chancellor and, you know, biden is basically making putting words in to the mouth of the german liter. so i think it's, it's for the americans, it's very important for the u. s. government, it's very important to have germany, the, the most powerful nation in, in nato, to,

to be on board. so this is very much a, an illustration of germany being, quote unquote, on board with this. well ahead of germany's promises, washington agreed to send a new 700000000 dollar military aid package to ukraine, including a number of advance rocket launchers that can hit targets up to 300 kilometers away . the by the administration, however, has only agreed to send rockets with a maximum range of 80 kilometers, although that would still be enough to hit the russian territory. the pentagon said it has commitments from those weapons will be used to strike russia. thus, despite the us defense secretary previously admitting they had no idea. but arms distribution in ukraine. anything you're doing on the territory of ukraine is defensive. in this context, the on the formal assurances that they will not use these systems to target russian territory in terms of our ability to track the weapons that are going in. as you

know, we don't have any forces on the ground. so that's, that is difficult for us to do. and unofficial, from the e, use law enforcement agency, europe, whole recently highlighted that organizations concerns over the fates of western arms in ukraine, notably where they could end up what concerns us is the whereabouts of the weapons that are currently being delivered to ukraine. want to prevent a situation like 30 years ago in the balkan war. the weapons from this war are still used by criminal groups today. the u. k is reportedly also planning to provide ukraine with further military aid. london is negotiating with the united states on the supply of american rocket launcher systems. talks are continuing between britain foreign secretary liz trucks, the u. s. secretary of state, anthony duncan, former u. s. or a force lieutenant colonel, turning to tusky again highlighted the possible consequences of supplying ukraine

with more and more weapons. in fact, the weapons themselves may not be delivered for a long time, may never be delivered. and certainly, if you look at it in the context of the great number of the great variety of antique and in process weapons that are being sent into ukraine, you really have to wonder what is that, what is the objective here? because that is not how you are a nation to defend itself by giving all your leftovers in the stuff that you have from you know, 20 years ago. and then things you don't have even on hand. you're promising. it's a mass and we're making it more of a man. many of these weapons will be sold outside of ukraine. if they are delivered at all, they will not stay in ukraine. they will be used in accessed by any number of interested parties around the world. there are consequences to flooding a place like ukraine, which is strategically located for in the crossroads between europe and asia to,

to flood it with weapons like that. the italian prime minister say some major european states are not in favor of ukraine becoming an e u. member, however mario drug, he also stated that he remains fully supportive of care of unbelief, giving candidacy status to your pin would be an important symbolic gesture. so stangler green, i support ukraine and becoming a member of the e. u. l. i have done so from the start, all of the major european stains, except italy are objecting to ukraine becoming a member of the u. s. other, we may request a candidate status, but this is not currently expected because of the opposition from some countries on hulu. so choose from the left side of the ukrainian foreign minister essays kia is tired of hearing about alternative scenarios on how it conjoined that you last week president zalinski even demanded. the dutch prime minister give a clear answer whether there is a place for ukraine in the block. the country was told it must go through the

established stages. or we spoke to an italian independent journalist on the issue who believes even you can do this, see status is out of reach for ukraine. so that god, okay. she at the moment till everything could be done, except a symbolic gesture, was such as simply talking about allowing ukraine to be a candidate for the european union mccormick also because we know that from an official point of view, it is almost impossible. and so all this talking just creates more prom occasion, result what drug he says doesn't make any sense. cindy's in italy, we have long known that drug is words are often false awful drug. he spoke about ukraine's candidacy as a symbolic gesture. that makes no sense. the west continues to promise ukraine, things that it will probably never get. ukraine in my opinion, is now a victim of the war. waged by the united states and nato, also involving russia. but of course,

ukraine is in the middle of all this business. and in my opinion, the european states and united states of america misled ukraine and that it can win, or that it can resist. i believe that korean has no chance of winning this move. kia will simply have to accept moscow's demands. cheap with china has lashed out at the u. s. after washington describe beijing's expanding influence in the pacific region as a threat. it follows that security pack between china and the solomon islands, having recently been agreed upon in the us. new zealand joint statement, hyping, the relevant issue, has altieri or motives and creates does information to attack and discredit china. the united states has military bases all over the world, yet it expresses so called concerns about other countries carrying out normal security cooperation. and such behavior is very hypocritical and reflects a deep rooted hedge, a monic mindset. we urge the u. s. to abandon its cold war mentality. an

ideological bias, stop interfering in china's internal affairs, and stop smearing and discrediting china. cotton, the u. s. res. this concerns as president biden met, new zealand prime minister to discuss, among other issues security. at problems in the pacific illness, he sees them. the meeting follows a series of engagements last month at the white house held with several indo pacific countries. the concerns about expanding chinese influence were made clear in the joint us new zealand state. white house we note with concern the security agreement between the peoples republic of china and the solomon islands. the establishment of a persistent military presence in the pacific by a state that does not share our values or security interests would fundamentally alter the strategic balance of the region, imposed national security concerns to both our countries. while back in april, china on the solomon islands agreed to a security pack that focuses on boosting the solomon's national security. while giving beijing the option to send forces to the state to quote,

protect the safety of chinese personnel and major projects. that was res, concerns among the us and its allies about the prospect of chinese bases in the region. in a bid to country china in the pacific, washington wants to place the intermediate range at midfield in areas there. however, a new report by the global policy foundation, the run corporation claims, most of america's allies, there are not in favor of hosting the weapons and welsh japan is apparently the most likely to assess the report claims. there's only a remote chance of that happening. nelson wong, vice chair of the shanghai center for impact and international studies. think tank, believe china is interest and the pacific are purely economic it's not so much of a, china's employees say in the pacific region, but more of the u. s. the united states needs to have an enemy and, and this is quite warry,

some actually to go to the whole world because china is not in the expansionist country. all china has been doing is expand the country's economy, economic activities, countries in the region, do not take china as an enemy and do not take china as a threat. the u. s. hasn't done anything with these countries. and except pull p. so whereas china has been looking into that actual needs of these countries in the pacific and to, to start establishing a very friendly pulse with them. so i think this is the china threat as being a fabricated to serve the needs of the american government. ah, okay. know the story to bring you today, the u. n. has given us stark warning, not the on falling global food crisis is putting more and more people on the brink

of starvation. the conflict in ukraine isn't just increasing hunger conditions within the country or even within the region. the number of people who are on the brink of famine is now about 48900000 in 43 countries. that is really dramatic. well, the most drastic situation really is africa, particularly the sa hail region. that's a 5000 kilometer belt of land, south of the sahara desert, 18000000 people, their face, severe starvation in the upcoming months, due to the combination of the ukraine conflict. the pandemic and climate change, hunger that is already at quote, an alarming level you'll find is likely to worship by the end of the summer. i'm marty has been reporting from molly one of the most affected states in the region. the forces of what i do companies like other countries in the sal region. molly is facing a food crisis caused by drought, due to climate change, as well as an unstable security environment. there's 2 aspects for much of the population to move to new areas. and now molly is

a country with high rates of urban zation and by 2050 is expected the half of the country's population will live in cities mid cycle, while the population is becoming increasing the urbanized. it's also extremely young, with 2 out of 3000000 citizens are under the age of 251 in france. the ratio is one out of 3. this comes in the country has one of the highest birth rates in the world with almost 6 children per woman had his offer. thus, in 60 years, the population has increased from just over 5000000 to wave at 20000000 people. that is almost 4 times these figures are expected to double again in the next 15 to 20 years. consequently, the authorities of the country face it difficult task to solve the issues related to the growth of the population. as it can become a base of wealth for the country, provided that the younger generation can receive education and work with the support of the government. who heads of the african union has put the blame for the disruption to food shipments on the crippling sanctions against russia. the country

has been cut off from the swift financial system that allows international transactions that's complicated and even made impossible payments for russian grain which is crucial for african states. african efforts analysts, lawrence freeman, believes the west has done little to help countries in africa, void famine instead, focusing all their efforts on blaming russia for it. hunger existed for either colgate or the russian ukraine conflict. but the primary cause for the shortage of food in africa and hunger is the lack of development. and this has been going on for decades and western institutions, europe, united states, have done nothing to actually eat hunger. the last has been totally hypocritical, millions and millions and millions of people going hungry and dying in

africa. the united states were turned back on africa because they will develop the me easier get the critical statement. blaming the food shortage in russia is full. and it's a critical good. it doesn't tell the truth, though it's one after the decade as a western, when people in africa died. okay, from africa to asia, where india's financial crime fighting agency says it's investigating 2 opposition leaders over money laundering, accusations, opposition, congress party president. sonya gandy on her son royal, are accused of forming a shell company and a legally gaining control of properties where $300000000.00 party members claim that there is no evidence of money laundering or of any money exchange is taking place a spokesperson for the congress party believes a political vendetta isn't play, don't $1015.00,

the same investigation hasn't already killed. now, if they want to, they have not been able to find anything and that is why they don't believe that is why they feel like it's not quarterly. now they're sending a motor is going to come out and be open as much as they may try to get the conversely, does she make the phone? and i leave the question i was on hold on movie was i'm investigation because we have nothing to hide. we are not here d, o any sort of money laundering or anything that they are claiming that that has been busy and we will continue to stand by the top and without any we shall be so easy and the 2 will be out and open as it was in 2 parts interesting as much as the government of the day may try to set up the the agencies to life even in 2015 they were using all these means to put all our people who are not guilty, guilty i guess will still come out as it did even earlier,

not the cases. and we will come out of under see before the people just be and then people will know that this is just the case, a political vendor while focusing all of their attention on the conflict in ukraine . critics, a western leaders are taking their is off the ball at home, causing their support to nosedive, breaking that story done for us. here's our t contributor, ritual. marston, western leaders frequently point out their unity amid the conflict in ukraine. but they are also united in their taking popularity at home. british prime minister wars johnson's ratings are circling the drainage is 29 percent approval in the wake of a new cabinet office report featuring photos of johnson whooping it up with drinks in hand at 10 down the street at a time when he was demanding that britons isolate themselves from others during the coven pandemic. dozens of m. b 's from johnson's own tory party, are now calling for a non confidence vote. u. s. president joe biden is hovering at a record low score. an id, high inflation,

a baby formula shortage and mass shootings. all while tens of billions of dollars of american taxpayer money are shuttled out the door to yield. the conflict in ukraine sherman jazz or, or show sits at 37 percent support shows his skin to find a finger in the wind stance on ukraine. seems to be symptomatic of a larger problem of rudderless leadership at home, counted prime minister just and trudeau took a popularity it earlier this year when he invoked martial law, including the body of canadian citizens, bank and council. now at 41 percent popularity trudeau hasn't yet recovered from mistreating opportunity with measures normally reserved for terror suspects. so how many layers fixed their popularity problem? well, they could try sweeping in front of their own door and start working their way down not least promises to their own people and things they claim to be able to fix

during their having that exist right there. delving into how punishing an impediment functions are for russian business if at all currently next they're close for a short talk. getting going in moments. this is our interest. ah ah.

with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with one. no sir, no, no, admiral hook, no, no. what door, more shrill than what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was

to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. and grill, oh, you know to production for this. sure, sure. good. good. that they're not eligible. no new son, new rochelle, he one more mom, but she knew margaret thought this meant union from all. one of i've been there and i've got over much sales. i got your name. i go on monday. i wish to know about joy. oh, new. i know you didn't oh gosh, more pushed in jail it's i had to put the code and mother and all your body build. you go out hours. nice. oh boy. good to go on. what on this talk? she, my and new other. i'm all,
